This video introduces a feature in Turbo360 that enhances cost management by providing easy access to cost-saving recommendations from Azure Advisor. The platform organizes costs into a tree view, allowing teams to see their expenses by department or project. This structure helps teams identify savings opportunities, such as resizing virtual machines or shutting down unused resources. The aim is to empower different teams to manage their own costs and make informed decisions, ultimately leading to better cost management across the organization.

This video helps users uncover and clean up unused resources in their Azure environment. It covers practical steps for detecting idle resources—like virtual machines, SQL databases, and unattached disks—that can quietly drive-up costs if left unchecked. Discover how to set up a structured cleanup plan and integrate it with Azure DevOps, enabling teams to manage cleanup tasks as work items within their workflows. By organizing and prioritizing these activities, teams can efficiently reduce waste and optimize their cloud spend.

Turbo360's Product Owner, Michael Stephenson, brings you the latest updates in the Azure cost management and monitoring platform. This video highlights exciting new UI themes, enhanced widget features, and improved cost analysis tools—all designed to boost your productivity and deliver deeper insights.
