Understanding the cost of Azure resources at a granular level is critical for managing budgets effectively. With resources deployed across different resource groups-be it by teams, departments, or projects-tracking expenses can become complex. By analyzing costs per resource group, organizations can allocate ownership, identify cost spikes, and ensure accountability.

Cloud adoption brings agility and scalability, but without effective cost monitoring, cloud expenses can spiral out of control. Microsoft Azure offers robust budget monitoring tools to help businesses manage and optimize cloud spending. These tools enable real-time tracking, forecasting, and alerting for Azure budgets, ensuring efficient cost management and avoiding unexpected expenses.

Azure Service Bus is a cloud messaging service that transfers information between services running in both the cloud and on-premises. So, it becomes essential to ensure the performance and availability of Service Bus as it might be used in applications and integrations for transferring business-critical messages. To help you with that, we have listed and compared the top Azure Service Bus monitoring tools with their features.

FinOps is an evolving concept increasingly practiced in cloud computing organizations to manage and optimize their infrastructure cost. It requires team collaboration among Finance, Engineering and IT Operations to gain a deep understanding of the expenditure, take financial accountability, and make informed decisions to maximize the business performance.

Many organizations migrate their workloads to the cloud or begin leveraging what the cloud offers. However, to keep their businesses up and running during this process, organizations still require integrating their systems in the cloud, like Dynamics365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, with Azure Integration Services (AIS) and potentially on-premises. One crucial aspect of such integrations is keeping them healthy and available, which requires monitoring and diagnostics.

Distributed tracing is the functionality to trace requests or messages flowing through different systems or environments like frontend, Backend, middleware. Distributed tracing brings connectivity or visibility of various services using a unique identifier. This identifier is passed to different services to correlate them as a single flow. We track data from different services with distributed tracing, but how do we visualize them? Visualization is a tedious task.
