Thought leadership on Azure optimization and MSP success
a few high level things to consider
Subscription optimization
Buy Windows Server separately on CSP multi-year (not part of a VM) and utilize Azure Hybrid Benefit
Buy Azure on CSP with a 3 year commitment
Buy the latest versions of Azure VMs because they give the best ROI
Snooze VMs when not being used
Use Spot VM for low priority workloads
Budgeting your Azure landing zone at 12% for bare VM cost
Choose the region wisely, big price differences
Setup
Make a plan to modernize your infrastructure and don't just 'lift and shift'
Consider replacing VMs with Kubernetes
Consider replacing VMs and applications with SaaS
Tools
Azure Migrate for moving workloads to Azure
Azure Lighthouse for managing all tenants under your wings on Azure
Azure Arc for managing outside Azure
A new way of work
Azure is not just another datacenter. It is a new way of handling compute and by embracing the added functionality you can build solutions that give customers not only a lower cost but also a more agile environment that can better support your business.
It is also a change of mindset for you as a Microsoft Partner where your people don't need to spend time on managing infrastructure. Instead, they can focus higher up in the value chain. Running your workloads in Azure is about trusting Microsoft on infrastructure and finding other ways to add value to customers.
The cost for running on Azure is now less than the cost for running in legacy hosters' datacenter
