DO: CAREFULLY SELECT VM SIZE
DO: GO FOR REUSING WHAT YOU WISH TO THROW AWAY For example, instead of taking up more and more App Service Plans for web apps, it is always a good idea to reuse plans for web apps that are no longer active or in running order. Similarly Azure cloud functions can be reused from multiple applications in the same company’s applications.
