Azure Cost Optimize

This workflow analyzes Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) files and Azure resources to generate cost optimization recommendations. It creates individual GitHub issues for each optimization opportunity plus one EPIC issue to coordinate implementation, enabling efficient tracking and execution of cost savings initiatives.

Prerequisites

Azure MCP server configured and authenticated
GitHub MCP server configured and authenticated
Target GitHub repository identified
Azure resources deployed (IaC files optional but helpful)
