Optimisation roadmap
Microsoft recommends rightsizing, removing underutilised resources, optimising usage and continuously reviewing consumption — and specifically recommends Azure Policy, Cost Management, Azure Advisor and governance guardrails when improving existing (brownfield) Azure environments. Optimisation is an ongoing process of visibility, accountability and optimisation, not a one-off exercise.
