CloudZero and Azure Advisor Integration Project

This project integrates Azure Advisor with CloudZero, allowing Azure Advisor cost recommendations to be extracted, converted to CloudZero insights, and uploaded to CloudZero effectively.

Note: This application does not operate on a scheduled basis. Each time you execute the application, it retrieves cost recommendations from Azure Advisor and only uploads the ones that are currently not present in CloudZero.

Make sure this is updated based on the sections included:

AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your_azure_client_id
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_azure_client_secret
AZURE_TENANT_ID=your_azure_tenant_id
CLOUDZERO_API_KEY=your_cloudzero_api_key

Building the Docker Image

To build the Docker image, run the following command in the project root directory:

make build

This command builds a Docker image named azure-cloudzero-integration based on the Dockerfile in your project.

Getting Started

Running the Container

To transmit Azure recommendations to CloudZero Insights, use the following command:

make run-transmit

To export Azure recommendations to a CSV file, use the following command:

make run-export

To do both, use the following command:

What is CloudZero?

CloudZero is the only cloud cost intelligence platform that puts engineering in control by connecting technical decisions to business results.:

Cost Allocation And Tagging Organize and allocate cloud spend in new ways, increase tagging coverage, or work on showback.
Kubernetes Cost Visibility Understand your Kubernetes spend alongside total spend across containerized and non-containerized environments.
FinOps And Financial Reporting Operationalize reporting on metrics such as cost per customer, COGS, gross margin. Forecast spend, reconcile invoices and easily investigate variance.
Engineering Accountability Foster a cost-conscious culture, where engineers understand spend, proactively consider cost, and get immediate feedback with fewer interruptions and faster and more efficient innovation.
Optimization And Reducing Waste Focus on immediately reducing spend by understanding where we have waste, inefficiencies, and discounting opportunities.
