Introduction to the Azure Well-Architected Framework

An authoring contract, not a completed lesson.

Purpose

Introduce introduction to the azure well-architected framework because the workload needs a new decision or capability.

Learning objectives

• Explain the model in workload context.
• Compare responsibility and cost tradeoffs.
• Apply it through a reproducible CLI-first exercise.
• Verify and clean up.

Concepts planned

Definition, architecture connection, purposeful visual, prediction, comparison, and fact/recommendation labels.

Expected lab outcome

One observable, independently verified change with cost, security, reliability, and operational effects.

Prerequisites and continuity

Previous: Session 89 — Confirm recovery instead of assuming it works. Next: Session 91 — Reliability review.

Author notes

• Check official Microsoft docs.
• Add explicit scope, variables, verification, cleanup, and cost.
• Execute in disposable resources and record environment/date.
• Test failure paths and update architecture.
