Data Cost AI Optimization for Azure ยท โญ Premium
Connect to Azure with your work account, or load two files. See where every rupee or dollar goes, and every waste with its monthly saving: idle disks and IPs, VMs stopped but still billed, SQL, Synapse, Fabric and Data Explorer running when nobody uses them, licences and reservations.
Diagnose and fix by AI: each finding comes with the exact az command for your resource, and a living checklist your team ticks off.
Read-only. Your costs and settings go from Azure straight into your browser: nothing passes through or is stored on QuantumData servers. ยท How it works
1
Sign in with your work account (Microsoft-verified publisher, read-only) and pick your subscriptions. Or download the cost export.
2
The last 60 days of costs and the settings of every resource are read straight into your browser. With files: one Resource Graph query.
3
Every finding with its monthly saving and the exact az command. Tick it off in your checklist.
What it finds
Unattached disks, unused public IPs, empty App Service plans and SQL elastic pools, old and premium snapshots.
VMs stopped from inside the operating system that still bill compute until they are deallocated.
Dev/test SQL databases, Synapse pools, Fabric capacities, Data Explorer and database servers running 24ร7.
High availability and geo-redundant storage where dev/test does not need them.
Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows and SQL, and always-on resources that suit a reservation or savings plan.
Days far above the usual day, services growing fast, the month forecast and untagged spend.
The exact az command for every finding, and a FinOps checklist that ticks itself when the next report is clean.
Ask why the bill went up. Only totals and counts are sent: never resource names or IDs.

Azure portal โบ Resource Graph Explorer โบ paste โบ Run query โบ Download as CSV. It reads resource settings only (sizes, states, tiers, licence type): no data, no secrets. Reader access is enough. Many resources? Run it once per subscription. One file alone works too; both together find the most.
Privacy and security
Read-only, verified publisher, no upload, no stored keys.
Connect uses your own Microsoft sign-in with read-only rights. The sign-in stays in this tab and ends when you close it. Prefer no connection at all? Load two files instead.
Everything is analysed on your own computer. Close the tab and it is gone.
No copy of your files on QuantumData servers. We keep only your account and licence.
Ask AI gets only totals, shares and finding counts. Resource names, IDs, subscriptions and tags are never sent.
