I think deallocating VMs is a good idea too.

I recall that Azure Cost Management budgets are useful for tracking expenses, but they don’t directly minimize licensing costs, right?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like deallocating VMs during off hours might save some costs, but it might not be the best option overall.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Azure reservations being a good way to save money on VMs.

I think using Azure Hybrid Benefit could really help reduce costs since we already have those SQL Server licenses.
