What is MS Cost Management?

I can quickly check the Azure resource costs and also create alerts when resources expand a certain limit.

They are shown visibly.

Cost alerts

There are three types of alerts:

  1. Budget alerts (When the costs exceed a certain limit)
  2. Cost alerts (When the costs exceed a certain limit)
  3. Department spending quota alerts (When the costs exceed a certain limit)

It alerts, when a certain limit which is set in the condition is exceeded.

Cost alerts

Department spending quota alerts

When a depertment exceeds a certain limit, it will be alerted. this is fixed in the EA portal.
