Hygiara identifies orphaned resources, idle infrastructure, missing budgets, tagging gaps, and SKU inefficiencies across your Azure environment as part of a structured architecture review.

A cost optimization review looks beyond billing dashboards to find the architectural and configuration patterns that drive unnecessary spend.
Orphaned resources, unattached disks, idle public IPs, over-sized SKUs, missing reservations, and absent budget alerts are all common findings that accumulate quietly between formal reviews.
Cost drift in Azure is usually architectural, not accidental. Resources deployed for temporary purposes stay running. Workloads change but underlying infrastructure stays sized for old demand.
Without a regular structured review, the gap between what you need and what you are paying for widens every quarter.
Hygiara checks resource configuration aligned to the Cost Optimisation pillar of the Azure Well-Architected Framework, surfacing findings with evidence and remediation direction.
Each finding explains the waste pattern, its impact on cost visibility and governance, and the recommended remediation direction — so your team knows exactly what to fix.
Cost findings are most useful when reviewed alongside governance, security, and architecture findings. A resource that is both a security risk and a cost waste is a higher priority than either issue alone.
Hygiara produces structured report output covering all selected review domains so stakeholders can see the full picture and prioritise accordingly.
