- Understanding costs of your Azure resource is one of the most critical items when driving cloud transformation for your organization. In this episode we will take a look at Azure Cost Management. A free, easy to use solution which enables owners, administrators and application teams to analyze and act on billing information.
In this episode I will show you how work with Azure Cost Management including out of the box features, navigation, budgets, alerts and and exports for further analysis.

You are, without any doubt, the best instructor for cloud services on the whole internet. You manage to make the material suitable for every skill level. Especially useful for those of us who are generally new to Cloud concepts. Keep up the excellent work Adam!
A very good overview and introduction to cost management. Thank you very much for your effort Adam. Keep on going!!!
My pleasure! thanks!
Wow - you are very good at covering these at the right level. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Love it! Very well done as usual. Thanks.
Fantastic thanks!
Excellent video Adam, much appreciated, thanks :)
Hi Adam, love your work. I'm studying for AZ-203/204 certification test, perhaps you could use certification "skills measured" for inspiration on what topics to cover. I like that you move at a good pace, only occasionally you jump passed something so quickly I have to back up several times to see what you clicked on. I follow along and do everything you do, and the knowledge really sticks that way. I don't mind pausing the video to catch up from time to time, but I don't like having to go back a couple of times because your mouse was in turbo mode and just clicked something on the way by. Keep up the great work!
Cheers! That is amazing feedback. Thanks for that. Sometimes I tend to rush as I'm so familiar with the environment that if I'm not cautious I just rush without noticing. 😀
A great introduction, I am also studying for the Azure certification this helps explain some things.
Great to hear! Good luck with the cert :)
Hello Adam, Thanks for your great work. I have been following your tutorials from last few months and those are really insightful. However I recently observed that you have prepared playlists for the videos and few videos are repeated in other playlists as well or should not be part of topic of that playlist. Just to keep you informed about this, so that you can organize your contents in proper order in playlists. Anyways I am proud subscriber of your youtube videos. Thanks again.
Thanks. Note that playlists are not designed to separate my content into distinct categories, rather they are separated logically into different paths, like by role (admins, dev, etc.) by technology (containers, streams, messaging services), by service (azure data factory series, azure ARM series) or simply by level (for beginners). Since those are different separations it is normal that videos will appear on several playlists. Unfortunately TH-cam doesn't allow me to structure this better for now. If you feel like some service is in the wrong playlist please let me know. I will take a look. Thanks for watching and providing valuable feedback!
Hi Adam, do you have any idea how can we fetch the -default budget from every subscription using powershell?
Cześć Adam, Super materiał, podoba mi się też sposób w jaki prezentujesz temat. Jednak mam pytanie czy mogę ustawić alert w budżecie który wyłączy usługę po przekroczeniu limitu $$$?
Dzieki Damian, mozna ustawic alter i wywolac jakas usluge typu Azure Logic Apps czy Automation. Tam majac informacje o budzecie jest dosc latwo wykonac taka automatyzacje. :)
Thanks a lot for explaining in details , Do we have option to automate the billing alerting for new subscription .. like CLI or PowerShell that can be triggered with supported event and setup the billing alert by picking the Owner mail id from Tag ..
Not sure that's possible for new subs because there are many ways to create a subscription, many different offer types and they can be connected to different active directories. But once they are created if you can run your scripts and configure a sub in any way you want.
@@AdamMarczakYT ok . What about setting up alert by picking the owner details from tag.. can we devlop automation to send billing alert dynamically using powershell or cli command..do we have module avait that we can use to setup alert based on above condition..
Amazing!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Adam, wonderful video and thanks for sharing your knowledge. I was trying to implement LogicApp to use Azure consumption APIs referring to one of your blogs and i got stuck at a point where 'copy blob' has got limitation of 50MB and I am not sure how to overcome that issue. Do you have any suggestions?
While it's hard to comment on what you are doing but blob connectors support over 50MB files with chunking. Check the docs for details. But in my opinion with automated exports maybe you don't even need to use API anyway, try it out :) thanks for watching :)
@@AdamMarczakYT Thanks Adam for reply. Please see this link docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/connectors/connectors-create-api-azureblobstorage
Also, not sure what you mean by automated exports. Are you referring to PowerBI connector that pulls data from the Azure consumption API? Just for your information I want to pull the usage details and Market Place data and want to display it on PowerBI dashboard
Did you watch the video until the end? I showcase the automated exports in ACM as one of the demos. As to the link, I know this but this link also explains how to work with files above 50 MBs too, so you should read it with greater attention.
Hi, could you do an example about how create a customized chart using Rest API ? Regards
How can we get the slides from your video ? Very informative content which can be referred all the time.
Thanks for stopping by. At this point in time I'm not sharing my decks, hope you understand.:)
Adam, I suggest not to share the decks at all for your great work to secure your own credit. Please continue your great work and share knowledge to help us learn everything about Azure. :). I really love your presentation skills. Cheers - Azure for Everyone...
Thanks for the video Adam, Need a quick help, when i create and export the reports into my blob storage it is creating a monthly directory every month automatically , how to avoid that monthly directory and have all the files in one directory.
Blob storage doesn't have folders. It's just virtual file name that is displayed like that.
/demo/test/123.csv is just a file name. Azure does make it look like a demo and test are folders, but it's not. What is the issue with the folders anyway, most tools like Power BI read it with no problem.
@@AdamMarczakYT The Main issue here was, cost management reports exports its reports to blob storage in the directory it is creating a subdirectory with a month and i don't want that month subdirectory.
Good Video
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi Adam, can you explain the difference between Actual cost and Amortized cost? Thank you
It's just accounting for reservation purchased, check out this page for the details docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/quick-acm-cost-analysis?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556
thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Love your videos. I added you on Linkedin!
Awesome! Thank you!
So cost management can be used even if you don't have EA right?
What are the other options for budget alerts ? Can u do a video on them ?
Maybe in the future, noted :) Thanks for watching :) For now check this docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/cost-mgt-alerts-monitor-usage-spending?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556
How do I use the API to pull data from Azure Cost Management to Power BI
Hello Adam,
do You know maybe some way to get remaining credits using Azure Powershell or CLI for Open or CSP subscription?
Just f.e. I want to create function, which will check how much money do I have on my account and if it will be lower than fixed threshold, it will send an email.
Sure, as You showed I can create a budget and check how much money I spent, but maybe You know how to do it reversely ;)
Thank You in advance!
I could say You did great job again, but You know that already :)
Interesting question. I know that for MCA billing accounts you can use REST API (no direct CLI/PowerShell command) to call API to get credits info. You can use CLI with az account get-access-token and curl to call API fairly easy though.
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/mca-check-azure-credits-balance?tabs=rest
Not sure if there is any option for MCOP or EA billing accounts. For CSP depends, because ACM supports only CSPs that signed MCA as per article azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-cost-management-updates-november-2019/ .
Thanks for stopping by!
@@AdamMarczakYT
Okay, so I need to stay with budget notification. Thank You!
@@AdamMarczakYT
I just discovered that I can create an alert on account Azure portal ( account.azure.com/subscriptions ) for remaining credits, so any additional resources or ACM are not necessary in my case. It works for Open subscription. I even didn't knew that this portal exists earlier, so it's one step forward in better Azure services understanding :)
There is a way to export the recommendation report to reduce cost of a column where we can see how to reduce the cost and how to prepare that report
How we add this cost reports for an Email? Kindly help
be carefully, azure ask your try , after you add credit card then suddenly thousthand of doller dedected from your credit card and no option to delete or refund.
i have try spend more 5 day to stop billing or refund money no option, just cancel your credit card from bank.
How to delete credit card details
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/change-credit-card
Annoyingly the export is only available for EA...
EA and MCA agreements. Happily it's just a matter of time until it gets everywhere, so I'm still happy considering how hard it was to get billing info in the past :) Can't wait for it to be added for sponsorship accounts
Cant u just kill the service when 100% is reached ?
Technically you can, but some services can't be stopped. In that case you would need to delete them. But it's not automated, you would need to write the scripts yourself.
