Recommendations

Recommendations by performance theme

Groups open Performance recommendations by remediation theme (throttling, undersized resources, missing acceleration, config tuning); bar length is a recommendation count, not a savings estimate.4 theme(s)
Why this matters

A theme with many recommendations often reflects one systemic gap rather than many unrelated issues — fixing the root cause once may close several recommendations at once.

Resource-type exposure

Groups open recommendations by the Azure resource type they apply to (parsed from the recommendation's own resource ID), showing which resource types carry the most open recommendations in this category.3 group(s) · share of total
Why this matters

A resource type dominating this composition is where remediation effort here will have the broadest effect — cross-check the detail table below for specific resources.

  • Compute/virtualMachines: 2
  • Storage/storageAccounts: 1
  • Cache/Redis: 1

High-impact share

Percentage of currently open Advisor recommendations rated High business impact by Advisor itself; not a dollar-weighted measure.1 of 4
Why this matters

A high share signals a backlog worth triaging soon, not which specific item to fix first — impact rating alone doesn't reflect cost or effort. Sort the table below by estimated run-rate to prioritize by dollar impact instead.

1 of 4 recommendation(s) carry Advisor's own "High" business impact rating.

Recommendation detail Lists Advisor's exact problem, suggested action, impact, resource, and any supportable current run-rate estimate.
Category Theme Impact Impacted resource Problem Suggested action Last updated Est. current run-rate
Performance Performance Medium stbhappdata02 Storage account "stbhappdata02" is experiencing request throttling due to exceeding its transaction limit. Increase the account's performance tier or distribute load across multiple accounts. 2026-09-01 —
Performance Performance Low vm-data-worker-03 Virtual machine "vm-data-worker-03" supports accelerated networking but does not have it enabled. Enable accelerated networking on this VM's network interface. 2026-09-01 —
Performance Performance High vm-batch-node-04 Virtual machine "vm-batch-node-04" has averaged 92% CPU utilization, above a typical capacity threshold. Upgrade to a larger VM size to relieve the capacity constraint. 2026-09-01 —
Performance Performance Low redis-session-cache Redis cache "redis-session-cache" is running with a non-recommended eviction policy configuration. Review the cache configuration and tuning settings for this workload. 2026-09-01 —

Savings-realization ledger

A manual record of which recommendation you acted on, when, and the dollar impact you observed — AFP has no reliable way to detect this automatically (a recommendation disappearing from a later scan could mean it was acted on, or that the resource was deleted, or that Advisor re-evaluated differently).0 entry(ies)
Why this matters

Recording entries here builds the real cumulative trend above over time, matching the FinOps Framework's own guidance to track optimization impact against initial estimates.

e.g. "Resized vm-app-01 from D4s_v3 to D2s_v3"
