1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,020 Here we are in the Azure portal, and this 2 00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:06,450 is the Cost Management + Billing tool. 3 00:00:06,450 --> 00:00:09,100 Let's take a look. In the billing section 4 00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:11,080 you can navigate to your subscription, 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,920 like this one here. This is the same 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,500 screen that you'd see if you would 7 00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:17,430 navigate through your subscription in any 8 00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:20,240 other way. And here I can enable my 9 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,100 spending limit for this subscription. This 10 00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:25,750 is different from a budget. If I reach the 11 00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:28,180 spending limit, all my services in this 12 00:00:28,180 --> 00:00:30,700 subscription will be stopped. And if I 13 00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:32,890 reach a budget limit, I'll just get a 14 00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:36,720 notification. Okay. Also in the building 15 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,960 section are my invoices. I can see all of 16 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,120 my invoices and download them and my usage 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,070 details, if I want. Additionally, I can 18 00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:49,270 see my billing address and my tax ID, as 19 00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:52,050 well and update that information. And 20 00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:54,430 finally, in the billing section I can see 21 00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:56,990 and manage my payment options, which are 22 00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,700 the credit cards that I use to pay for 23 00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,620 this Azure account. All right, let's go to 24 00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:04,050 Cost Management. The first thing I'll do 25 00:01:04,050 --> 00:01:06,200 here is changed my scope to another 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,530 subscription, and see how I can also 27 00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:12,380 change the scope to a resource group. This 28 00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,640 is what I'll use Cost Management for. 29 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,430 Okay, that's it. So here it starts with 30 00:01:18,430 --> 00:01:21,280 cost analysis. This provides a default 31 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,100 view of the forecast for my subscription 32 00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,780 and also a breakdown of costs by service 33 00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:29,380 names, locations, and resource groups, 34 00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:32,500 which is already very useful. This is just 35 00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:35,270 one of the built‑in views. You can choose 36 00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:37,520 other views, or you can create your own 37 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,390 custom views. You can choose your data by 38 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:43,070 selecting a timeframe for it and apply 39 00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:46,230 additional filters. These can be anything 40 00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:49,070 like location or a tag that you apply to 41 00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:51,620 them. Tags are things that you can apply 42 00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:53,910 to resources, resource groups, and 43 00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:56,060 anything in Azure, really, This helps you 44 00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:59,540 to create reports like this cost report. 45 00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:01,570 Another thing that Cost Management can do 46 00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:04,780 is budgets. Let's take a look, and let's 47 00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:07,550 create a new budget here. The default 48 00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:09,420 scope is the subscription that we chose 49 00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:12,120 earlier, and I can also narrow that down 50 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,380 by applying filters, like a resource 51 00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:17,750 group. So this budget will apply to a 52 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:20,950 resource group. Now for the details. I'll 53 00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:24,010 give it a name first, and I'll leave this 54 00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:27,410 as a monthly budget, so this resets every 55 00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:30,170 month. I'll leave the dates as they are. 56 00:02:30,170 --> 00:02:32,690 And now for the amount, I'll take the 57 00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:36,720 recommendation of €14 per month. Okay, 58 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,330 let's go to the next page. Here I can 59 00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:42,900 create an alert for the budget. So when I 60 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:45,880 reach 10% of the budget, I want this alert 61 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,810 to go off. I can assign it to an action 62 00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:50,650 group, which are groups that define 63 00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:52,750 certain actions, like calling an Azure 64 00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:56,240 function. And I want this alert to be sent 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,810 to my email address. This one here. Okay, 66 00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:02,940 and create the budget and alert. Let's 67 00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:06,120 take a look at alerts. Here I can see if 68 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,310 any alerts fired and which ones. In the 69 00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:13,140 last 30 days, no alerts went off. Cool. 70 00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:16,260 What else? I can configure Cost Management 71 00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:20,200 things like budgets and more. Also, I can 72 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,810 configure it to export billing data on a 73 00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:26,270 schedule to Azure storage. And finally, I 74 00:03:26,270 --> 00:03:28,800 can connect Amazon Web Services to Cost 75 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,380 Management so that I can see all my costs 76 00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:34,480 in one portal. Cool, right? And this might 77 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,000 be extended with more cloud provider connectors in the future
