Been handed the Azure bill and asked to sort out the costs? This episode is for you.

In the first episode of FinOps Thinking with Frank Contrepois: The Azure Sessions, FinOps expert Frank Contrepois and Turbo360 CTO Mike Stephenson (Microsoft MVP) walk through Azure Cost Management from the ground up. You might find you've been doing FinOps without realising it.

• Top-down vs bottom-up cost analysis, and where to start digging
• Which services carry the most cost risk: Log Analytics, storage and AI
