Reduce costs in windows azure if you have several sites

1

Develop a system for a client which when I was developing it was designed for him, now he has several friends who liked the program, he currently had it in a hosting, which I see that he has problems with hosting because they are not very stable, so I went to use windows azure, which I see is too stable compared to traditional hosting, but it is too expensive, the idea is that with the hosting I rented them at 500 pesos per month, right now I look with windows azure I spend like 1300 pesos per month, which renting it for 2000 pesos a month makes me something expensive. Currently what I do to mount the application I use

  • App Service (1 core 1.75GB RAM 10 GB of storage with price monthly $ 1,076.94 / month)
  • SQL Database 10 DTU 250 GB Storage ($ 290.06 / Month)
  • Storage 250 GB for images ($ 144.75 / month)

Which gives a total of approximately $ 1,511.75 / month

If I have 5 clients I would be paying $ 7558.75 this is quite costly for me per month, and it also makes my clients cost 2000 pesos per month if I want to earn something.

My question is what is the best form in windows azure to reduce these costs when creating multiple instances.

Greetings.

It is difficult to tell you precisely where to optimize your costs without knowing how your application is made, but it is very likely that you are underutilizing your resources:

  • The place where you should be able to save more on costs is with Azure App Service, which allows you to run multiple Web Apps within the same App Service Plan, with which you could keep 1 App Service Plan Standard S1 (the one with 1 core and 1.75 GB of RAM) and put there the 5 Web Apps of your 5 clients (Scott Hanselman has 20 sites running on the same plan link ).
  • Another possible place of saving is in the database: again, depending on how your application is made, you could share a single database among several clients instead of using a database for each one.
