How are the three Azure Snapshot storage types (Standard HDD, Premium SSD, and Zone-Redundant) mapped to the "Performance" category in the Snapshot Cost Report?

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

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

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

In cases where we do not receive an account type from the API, we look at the product column in the billing item and then put them in one of the performance categories listed above.

 

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
