Well-Architected Review

Purpose

Perform a structured assessment of Azure resources against the five pillars of the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework. Produce a scored report with prioritized recommendations.

When to use this skill

User asks "are we following best practices?"
User asks for a WAF or Well-Architected review
User wants to assess architecture quality before a launch or audit
Periodic (quarterly) architecture health check

Pillars and checks

1. Reliability

Run the following checks and report findings:

Availability design: Check if critical workloads use availability zones or availability sets

az vm list --query "[].{name:name, zones:zones, availabilitySet:availabilitySet.id}" -o table
az appservice plan list --query "[].{name:name, zoneRedundant:zoneRedundant, sku:sku.name}" -o table

Backup coverage: Verify Recovery Services vaults and backup policies exist for VMs, databases, and file shares

az backup vault list -o table

Then for each vault:

az backup item list --vault-name <vault> --resource-group <rg> --backup-management-type AzureIaasVM -o table

Disaster recovery: Check for paired regions, ASR replication, or geo-redundant storage
Health probes: Verify App Service health checks, load balancer probes, and Container Apps health endpoints
Auto-healing: Check if App Service auto-heal rules or AKS pod disruption budgets are configured

2. Security

Identity: Check for managed identities vs. stored credentials

az webapp identity show --name <app> --resource-group <rg>
az ad app list --query "[].{name:displayName, passwordCredentials:passwordCredentials}" -o table

Network isolation: Check for private endpoints, NSGs, and service endpoints
```
az network private-endpoint list -o table
az network nsg list -o table
```
Encryption: Verify encryption at rest (storage, databases) and in transit (TLS)

Key management: Check Key Vault usage and key/secret expiration dates

az keyvault list -o table
az keyvault secret list --vault-name <vault> --query "[].{name:name, expires:attributes.expires}" -o table

Defender for Cloud: Check Secure Score and outstanding recommendations

3. Cost Optimization

Rightsizing: Identify underutilized VMs (CPU < 5% average over 14 days)

Orphaned resources: Find unattached disks, unused public IPs, empty resource groups

az disk list --query "[?managedBy==null].{name:name, size:diskSizeGb, rg:resourceGroup}" -o table
az network public-ip list --query "[?ipConfiguration==null].{name:name, rg:resourceGroup}" -o table

Reservations: Check if high-usage resources could benefit from reserved instances
Dev/Test pricing: Verify non-production workloads use Dev/Test subscriptions or B-series VMs
Storage tiers: Check if cool/archive tiers are used for infrequently accessed data

4. Operational Excellence

IaC coverage: Check for ARM/Bicep/Terraform templates in connected repos

Tagging: Verify mandatory tags (environment, owner, cost-center) exist

az resource list --query "[?tags.environment==null].{name:name, type:type, rg:resourceGroup}" -o table

Monitoring: Check for alert rules, action groups, and diagnostic settings

az monitor metrics alert list -o table
az monitor diagnostic-settings list --resource <id> -o table

Deployment practices: Check for deployment slots, blue-green, or canary configurations
Automation: Check for runbooks, Logic Apps, or scheduled tasks for routine operations

5. Performance Efficiency

Autoscaling: Verify autoscale rules exist for App Service plans, VMSS, and Container Apps
```
az monitor autoscale list --resource-group <rg> -o table
```
Note: az monitor autoscale list requires --resource-group. Iterate over relevant resource groups, or use Azure Resource Graph:
```
az graph query -q "resources | where type == 'microsoft.insights/autoscalesettings'" -o table
```
Caching: Check for Redis Cache or CDN usage on high-traffic workloads
Database performance: Check DTU/vCore utilization, index recommendations
Content delivery: Verify static assets use CDN or Front Door
Connection pooling: Check for connection string patterns suggesting missing pooling

Scoring model

For each check, assign one of:

✅ Pass — follows best practice
⚠️ Needs attention — partially implemented or at risk
❌ Fail — not implemented, risk exposure

Accepted exceptions (optional)

If the user provides a list of accepted exceptions, do not flag those items. Instead, note them in the report as Accepted Exception with the reason provided.

Example format the user may provide:

Check	Reason
1.1 Availability zones	Single-AZ by design to reduce cost
3.3 Reserved instances	Short-term workload, reservations not applicable
5.5 Connection pooling	Legacy app uses persistent connections by design

When exceptions are provided:

Skip the flagged checks in scoring
List them in a separate "Accepted Exceptions" section at the end of the report
Recalculate the overall score excluding excepted checks

Expected output

Report header (mandatory — use this exact format)
