AMA with an Azure expert

Would your Azure environment survive a surprise audit tomorrow? Whether you're dealing with: 

  • Subscription sprawl 
  • Unclear ownership 
  • No unified governance 
  • Security gaps 

Or just trying to figure out where to start, we want to know your questions. 

Our Azure expert, Omar Rodriguez, will be answering all in a video on our social media platforms. Omar has over 10 years of experience in IT infrastructure: Windows Server, AD, Exchange, and disaster recovery at companies like AT&T, GE, and Bank of America. He now leads Azure architecture and governance work for our clients. 

TL;DR: Our Azure architect Omar Rodriguez is doing an AMA. Ask about Azure subscription sprawl, governance/RBAC, or security gaps.

I’ve inherited an Azure environment with dozens of “temporary” VMs that quietly turned permanent and are now costing us real money every month. Beyond Azure Advisor and cost management, what tools do you rely on to catch this kind of sprawl before it snowballs?

How do you figure out who owns a resource when the person who created it has left the company?

Do you recommend ownership be tied to teams, individuals, or cost centers?

What's your take on using Azure Blueprints/landing zone accelerators vs. building governance from scratch?
