Hi Everyone,
We recently migrated several legacy business applications to Microsoft Azure Services, but we are now facing challenges related to rising cloud costs, application latency, and performance bottlenecks during peak workloads.
We are currently using Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). While scalability has improved, managing resource optimization and controlling operational expenses has become difficult.
I would like to understand:
• What Azure cost-optimization strategies are enterprises using in 2026?
• Are services like Azure Monitor, Azure Advisor, or Reserved Instances helping reduce costs effectively?
• How are organizations improving application performance after migration?
• Is anyone using AI-driven monitoring or automation within Azure for workload optimization?
• Any best practices for balancing performance, security, and cost in hybrid cloud environments?
Would appreciate insights, real-world experiences, or architecture recommendations from the community.
Thanks in advance!
