Why each option
Azure Advisor provides personalized recommendations to optimize costs, performance, security, and operational excellence for your Azure resources.
Azure Advisor is a free service that analyzes your Azure resource configuration and usage telemetry to provide personalized, actionable recommendations for optimizing your Azure deployments across five pillars: Cost, Security, Reliability, Operational Excellence, and Performance. Specifically for cost reduction, it suggests actions like identifying idle resources, rightsizing VMs, or using reserved instances.
Log Analytics is a tool for collecting, querying, and analyzing log data from various sources, not primarily for cost recommendations.
Azure Service Health provides personalized alerts and guidance on Azure service issues and planned maintenance, not cost optimization recommendations.
The Azure pricing calculator estimates costs for planned deployments, but it does not analyze existing deployments for cost reduction recommendations.
