Cloud storage costs can add up quickly. Cleaning up unused disks or EBS volumes seems like an obvious move for cost savings. However, many organizations hesitate to act—not because they don’t see the potential savings, but because they don’t fully trust the recommendation.

The Key? Context.

Storage optimization shouldn’t be a blind cleanup exercise. It needs to take into account Application, Environment, and Business Impact before making a decision.

Unused Storage – A Simple Cleanup Opportunity

🔹 Azure Disk/EBS Volume has been unused for the past 30 days.
🔹 No active application dependencies.
🔹 Not tagged as a critical resource.

👉 Recommendation: Delete it and save costs.

Without clear insights and trust in the data, many teams leave such disks running, continuing to incur unnecessary costs.
