Cost optimisation
Azure cost optimisation services
North Peak Cloud cuts wasted Azure spend without touching performance. We run a structured cost review across your subscriptions — right-sizing, reservations and savings plans, orphaned-resource cleanup, storage tiering and tagging — then leave you with a FinOps practice that keeps the savings compounding. Typical Azure estates carry 20–40% avoidable cost; we find it and remove it.
- Full cost review across every subscription
- Right-sizing and orphaned-resource cleanup
- Reservations, savings plans and Azure Hybrid Benefit
- Tagging and cost allocation you can actually report on
- Anomaly detection so waste doesn't creep back
AI on Azure, done right.
AI-ready foundations
Azure AI Foundry hubs and projects, private networking to your models, identity and policy guardrails — the secure base every AI workload needs before it scales.
Cost control for AI & cloud
FinOps for the AI era: token and PTU strategy, model right-sizing, reservations and anomaly detection. We find the waste your invoice is hiding.
Platform engineering
Landing zones as code in Bicep or Terraform, GitOps, policy-as-code and golden paths. Enterprise-grade Azure delivered in weeks, not quarters.
Security & responsible AI
Content filtering, evaluations, data-residency and audit-ready guardrails aligned to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 — trustworthy AI you can put in front of customers.
Migration & modernisation
Cloud Adoption Framework migrations and Well-Architected reviews that leave you cheaper, faster and ready for AI — not just lifted-and-shifted.

Asked and answered.
How much can Azure cost optimisation save?+
Most organisations recover 20–40% of Azure spend through right-sizing, reservations, orphaned-resource cleanup and better tagging — often more on estates that have grown quickly without governance.
Will optimisation affect performance?+
No. Done properly, cost optimisation removes waste — idle resources, over-provisioning, the wrong pricing model — while protecting or improving performance through right-sizing and the Well-Architected Framework.
