Overview

The Continuous Cloud Optimization Insights (CCO Insights) project is a set of Power BI Desktop Reports developed using Power Query M language and DAX, that pulls information directly from different Azure REST APIs and enables monitoring, operation and infrastructure teams to quickly gain insights about their existing Azure Platform footprint and resources as well as code contribution characteristics on two major platforms - Azure DevOps and GitHub.

CCO Insights currently includes 5 different dashboards to discover information about your Azure, Azure DevOps and GitHub cloud platforms:

• CCO Azure Infrastructure Dashboard: Get insights about Azure advisor optimizations, Azure Security Center Alerts, Networking, Compute, RBAC, Idle resources and Subscriptions Quotas and Limits
• CCO Azure Governance Dashboard: Get insights about Azure Governance aspects like Management Groups and Subscriptions hierarchy, resource tagging and naming standards, security controls, policies compliance, Regulatory Standards and Azure Blueprints
• CCO Azure Infrastructure Dashboard with AKS (not maintained): Get insights about AKS information
• CCO GitHub Contributions Dashboard: Get insights about the contributions to your GitHub project.
• CCO Azure DevOps Contributions Dashboard: Get insights about the contributions to your Azure DevOps (ADO) project.

NOTE: If your're experiencing problems during the deployment of the dashboards, please check the Troubleshooting guide and the Github issues before creating a new one.

List of resources

This project includes the following resources:

1. install folder: Includes all the files required to successfully deploy the Dashboard in your environment. The Deployment Guide file contains a detailed guidance to install and setup your dashboard including the requirements, what REST APIs are in use, the resource providers that needs to be enabled or what tabs are included as part of the default Dashboard. The Troubleshooting Guide file contains guidance to solve potential issues that you might encounter during the Dashboard deployment. Errors like Power BI regional settings, or Privacy levels will be documented on this document.
2. queries folder: Includes the M queries used in the Dashboard to pull data from Azure and Graph REST APIs. This content is for reference purposes to facilitate the Data Model comprehension and to enable contributors to expand the Dashboard capabilities.
3. docs/assets/pictures folder: Contains all the images that the Dashboard will use when loading data from Azure. The content of this folder will be dynamic and we will update the repository regularly. Make sure the computer running the Dashboard that has internet access also have access to this URL https://azure.github.io/ccodashboard/assets/pictures
4. dashboards folder: This parent folder contains sub folders with different versions of the dashboards of CCO Insights depending on the workloads you want to get report from. We expect to see more versions in the future from community contributions.
   • CCODashboard-Infra folder has a more generic version of the Dashboard that includes information from Azure Advisor, Azure Security Center, Azure Networking REST APIs, Azure Compute REST APIs and Graph
   • CCODashboard-Governance folder has a dashboard aligned with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework governance principles and will allow to get quick insights around Management Groups, Subscriptions, Blueprints, Polices, Naming Standards, Tagging and Regulatory Standards compliance. For this dashboard is needed the installation of a custom connector.
   • CCODashboard-AKS folder has the add-on report to monitor Azure Kubernetes Services.
