March 2026 - Why Azure Gets Expensive (and can we actually do about it)
Microsoft Adelaide - Level 12, Aurora Building, 147 Pirie Street Adelaide, Adelaide, AUCome join us and tune in to hear Max Taba on "Why Azure Gets Expensive (and What Engineers Can Actually Do About It)"
In this session Max will walk through the common patterns he sees in enterprise Azure environments that quietly drive cost up.
More importantly, he’ll show what engineers can do about it using tools and practices they already have access to.
The focus is practical, not theoretical. You’ll leave with a set of small, repeatable changes you can take back to your team that reduce both cost and operational overhead.About Max:
Max is a Cloud Engineer based in Adelaide working across enterprise Azure environments. His day-to-day is designing and running secure landing zones, automation, and infrastructure as code, with a strong focus on making platforms reliable, simple to operate, and cost-efficient.
He spends most of his time bridging the gap between engineering, security and operations trying to make sure what they build is actually usable, compliant, and doesn’t blow out the Azure bill.Please register to RSVP and ensure your surname is visible in Meetup if attending in person so that Microsoft can account for your safety in an emergency.
