Why Visibility Alone Isn’t Enough: Optimising Azure with CPO

Dashboards and alerts are essential, but visibility is only the starting point.

To truly optimise your Azure environment, you need actionable insights, automation, and expert intervention that go beyond metrics.

The Limitations of Monitoring-Only Approaches

Most teams rely on built-in monitoring tools but still struggle with performance inconsistencies, cost surprises, and governance gaps. Data alone doesn’t solve problems. It must be tied to decision-making and operational change.

Explore Azure Advisor, Microsoft’s built-in tool that helps identify areas for cost, performance, security, and reliability improvement.

Azure CPO: From Insight to Action

Cloud Platform Optimisation (CPO) transforms raw data into operational outcomes through real-time management, automated tuning, and platform-level oversight. Here’s what it enables:

  • Full-Stack Observability: Aggregate logs, metrics, and dependencies across workloads using Azure Monitor.
  • Automated Resource Optimisation: Eliminate idle compute, resize over-provisioned VMs, and apply cost-saving recommendations.
  • Intelligent Alert Routing: Prioritise actionable signals and reduce alert fatigue.
  • Performance Tuning: Identify latency hotspots and apply fixes through Application Insights.
  • Compliance Remediation: Automate enforcement of security and policy configurations.

Turn Visibility Into Value

With Azure CPO, your data doesn’t just sit in a dashboard but drives smarter operations, reduced waste, and greater uptime across your entire environment.
