Azure Advisor
A free service that analyzes your resources and recommends improvements to cost, security, reliability, and performance.
Azure Advisor is a free, personalized cloud consultant in the Azure portal that analyzes deployed resources and configurations against Azure best practices. It organizes recommendations into five categories: Cost, Security, Reliability, Performance, and Operational Excellence. Each recommendation carries an impact level and a direct link to the affected resource, so you can act without leaving the portal. A common exam trap mixes Advisor up with Azure Monitor: Monitor collects telemetry and fires alerts on live metrics, while Advisor interprets configuration and usage to suggest proactive improvements. Advisor’s Security recommendations come from Microsoft Defender for Cloud, making the two complementary.
