Introduction

Cost Management Groups can be created to organize the Azure Subscriptions and perform Cost Analysis, Cost Monitoring, and Cost optimization on them.

A Cost Management Group can contain multiple sub-groups.

Cost Management Group overview

The Overview section of a group holds a set of widgets that consists of details related to Cost Monitoring, Cost Optimization Schedules, Cost charts based on Resource/Resource Group/Location, and logs on the recent activities of Optimization and Monitoring alerts.
