Azure Data Factory Idle Pipeline

A pipeline with no runs still bills for any integration runtime kept provisioned for it, and unused triggers are schedules nobody is checking.

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

Found, explained, fixed.

Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across Azure, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Pause triggers on the idle Data Factory pipeline. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.

03

Fix

After a guided review, where you confirm the change, ZopNight pauses the service, then checks the change took.
