Azure Snapshot storage type (Standard HDD, Premium SSD, and Zone-Redundant) mapping to the "Performance" category in the Snapshot Cost Report

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

While creating a snapshot cost report, CloudHealth looks at each billing line item and put it in one of the above categories based on the account type received from this rest API from Microsoft. 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/compute/snapshots/list?tabs=HTTP#snapshotstorageaccounttypes 

In cases where the platform does not receive an account type from the API, it looks at the product column in the billing item and then puts them in one of the available performance categories.
 

Resolution

Possible Performance Categories in Snapshot Cost Report:

Premium, Premium SSD, Premium HDD, Premium LRS, Premium GRS, Standard, Standard SSD, Standard HDD, Standard_LRS, Standard_GRS, Standard_ZRS, StandardSSD LRS, StandardSSD GRS, Premium Page, Standard Page, Other

 

Account Type to Performance Category mapping

Standard_LRS --> Standard
Premium_LRS --> Premium LRS
Standard_ZRS --> Standard
nil --> look at the product column in the bill

 

Some examples of mappings from Product column to Performance Category (for the items where we do not get an account type from Microsoft API)

Standard HDD Managed Disks - ZRS Snapshots - EU West --> Standard HDD
Premium SSD Managed Disks - Snapshots LRS - AP Southeast --> Premium SSD
Standard HDD Managed Disks - LRS Snapshots - US West --> Standard HDD
Standard HDD Managed Disks - Disk Operations --> Standard HDD
Bandwidth Inter-Region - Intra Continent Data Transfer Out - Europe --> Other

 

Potential Mappings CH Performances to the Azure Storage:

Standard -> Standard HDD
Premium LRS -> Premium SSD
Standard HDD -> Standard HDD
Premium SSD -> Premium SSD
Other -> Zone Redundant
