Introduction
The year 2024 concerned acceleration in AI technologies with improved and more powerful language models, agents’ ecosystems and accompanying tools to create and racing progress in a silicon layer. Since companies accept these new technologies, they are also focused on the king (return on investment) and you, as experts of Finops, play a key role in allowing your organizations to gain maximum value of your investment. We in Microsoft cost management want to work with you on your day and we will continue to provide you with tools needed for your success.
If we wrap this year, I summarized all the important updates that our team made in the cost of all year round to allow your FinOPS day to make the most of your cloud investment. I recommend that you explore these new abilities when you look at optimizing your investment. Also hand over the monthly blogs to immerse yourself in detail.
Cost visibility
Cost analysis
Everything starts to know how much you spend and where you spend. Analysis on the Azure portal is a great tool for you to perform a quick analysis of your cost, creating alerts and creating messages. This year we have introduced new cards that allow smooth switching between different views. This allows users to combine different data sets and PIN views for quick and easy access. In addition, we optimized the load time of these views.

Export
Throughout the year, we have made a meaningful improvement in export experience that allows you to export data to your possession for your own report and analytical needs. We started adding additional data sets: reservation of transactions, booking details, recommendations of bookings and price. We have also added support for your use data sets to be exported in Focus 1.0, which combines your messages and amortized costs. We followed this by adding Parquet support and adding the ability to compress your exported files that can help you save on your storage and network costs.
Now we are a preview of the ability to export your data sets directly to Microsoft Fabrication, which provides a great platform that all your analytical needs. You can take advantage of the advanced analytical and reporting skills of Microsoft production to get deeper information about your cloud expenditure and decide on the data drive.

Enhance Copilot for Visibility
Copilot, your user interface for AI, ARESWER can your questions related to natural language costs and provide you with quick knowledge. We have improved this tool by integrating with the cost analysis so that you can further analyze and report reports that you will move from the Copilot in the cost analysis without any manual intervention. Copilot des all configurations for you to focus on your task at hand. I recommend that you try some of the samples we have in the article below and click on the cost analysis button that you will see in most responses will continue to explore the cost analysis.
For the deployment of Azure Openi on the token based, the Copilot can also help you estimate the cost of your simulation scenarios, such as changes in the model or expected use.
Azure Openai costs
A recently released view of Azure Openai gives you easy access to displaying your work on your Azure Openi. The cost of deployment based on token and pTU (commission permeable unit) can be viewed together with purchases of reservation in one perspective. This view is available with other built -in views in intelligent views in cost analysis.
Cost Contribution
Billing brands with heritage
The complete allocation of cloud expenses is one of the highest priorities for FinOPS experts. If you want to manage responsibility through different costs, you must have a solid strategy that will allocate their costs and seize them to take the necessary measures. Brands provide an easy and efficient way to annoy your business context records for your groups and allocation needs. Inheritance of brand management is a great way to ensure that all your use and cost records are marked. In January 2024, we launched the ability to mark the Crivies section and billing profiles for you and you can also configure THESSE brands so that they are in heritage and are used for all basic cost records.
In these articles, you can read about billing brands and brands of brands to get more details.
AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service)
Kubernetes provides a scalable, reliable and highly available platform to start your applications. We know how difficult it can be to get individual costs of running on your clusters AKS. So we made the AKS cost. These views provide the cost of the names running on your clusters, which can be for your MAPD applications. You can then use this data to allocate the cost of teams responsible for starting these applications. In these articles, you can learn more about the views and additions to the cost analysis:
Optimization of cost
Azure Openai provided booking
With the introduction of 1 month and 1-year reservations, businesses that have committed themselves to using Azure Openai on the Cana scale substantial discounts compared to standard prices paid as you-go. You can manage these reservations in the cost analysis in the same way as any other reservation.
