Managing costs in the cloud is crucial to avoid unexpected expenses.
How many times have I read "Azure just charged me 1k dollars because of a misconfiguration".
Did it happen to you as well? Me too. And I know how stupid you feel after that. Sometimes it is not even our fault. (cough* strange defaults from Azure *cough)

So to avoid that, we can setup budgets and get notified when we reach certain thresholds.
It's important to know which scope you want to set the budget on. It can be at management group level, subscription level or resource group level. Choose the scope you are responsible for and want to monitor costs for.

What are the options? Let's explore them.

In the cloud world, it’s all about speed, repeatability, and stability. That’s where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) comes in. Many imagine YAML files or PowerShell scripts, but the truth is: Anyone can start with IaC today.

In this post, you’ll learn:

• What IaC is and why it matters
• How to get started in Azure – even without deep experience

You're working on an ongoing project, but you're tired of manually applying any infrastructure changes to all environments. Not to mention documenting the changes. Ideally, the team would focus on delivering features. Regardless of the project's progress, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) can be used to make that happen. However, it is not easy to get started, and you quickly fall into "Infrastructure by clicking". What are the risks of this approach, and why is it worthwhile to rely on IaC? What tools are available, and which is suitable for your team? This talk will demonstrate how you can integrate Azure Bicep into your CI/CD pipeline using examples and best practices. This way, your team quickly delivers new features to the customer.
