What Sched4Cloud Does

Most Azure environments waste money on resources running at the wrong time, wrong size, or not at all. Development VMs run overnight. SQL databases sit overprovisioned. Web Apps remain scaled up long after peak traffic ends. Sched4Cloud fixes this. It provides intelligent scheduling and auto-scaling for Azure resources — helping teams cut compute and database costs by 50–70% with effortless, policy-driven automation. Configure once. Save every day.
