Question about saving licensing and usage costs for Tier 2 F&O environments.

Posted on by 6
Hi,
 
My company currently has a number of "Dynamics 365 Operations Application Partner Sandbox" licenses, which are assigned to a user. I believe this would allow the user access to a Tier 2 F&O environment (implementation project) we deployed. We don't always need this project active (e.g. developers work on multiple projects on a given day). We're thinking of ways to potentially save costs and was wondering would the following help save costs?
 
- we "turn off the environment". What I meant by this is that for Tier 1 environments, we turn off the VM that is associated with the environment and turn it back on when it's needed (Tier 1 creates a VM in Azure). We thought there could be something similar with Tier 2 environments, but it's cloud based. If this could be done, how do we turn off the environment?
- we delete the environment and then recreate if needed. 
 
Sincerely,
 
Jason
