Find Idle Azure Resources — Cost Optimization Guide

How can I find idle or unused Azure resources to reduce costs?

Common idle resources include: unattached managed disks, unused public IPs, empty resource groups, VMs with consistently low CPU (<5%), App Service plans with no apps, orphaned NICs, and NSGs not attached to subnets. Azure Advisor provides cost recommendations, and Azure FinOps Agent can scan all subscriptions simultaneously to quantify the total waste.
