Azure Function Premium Plan with Low Executions

The Premium plan bills for always-warm instances so functions avoid cold starts; at low execution volume that warmth is being paid for and rarely used.

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

Azure

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: Move the function app off its premium plan. 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 stops it, resizes it to the recommended tier, and starts it again, then checks the change took.
