This document discusses managing costs in Azure. It notes that cost management is important to avoid waste and spur innovation. Many factors can affect costs, including resource type, usage levels, region, and network traffic. The document recommends using two free Azure tools - the Pricing Calculator and Total Cost of Ownership calculator - to estimate costs. It also recommends using tags, budgets, and alerts available in the Azure Portal to track spending across accounts and resources and set limits and notifications. Consistency in cost monitoring and planning is key to managing Azure costs effectively.
