Azure Architect

When to use

  • Designing or reviewing an Azure landing zone, subscription, or management group hierarchy
  • Selecting between AKS, Container Apps, and Azure Functions for a workload
  • Architecting hub-and-spoke networking, ExpressRoute, or Private Link topology
  • Choosing between Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Synapse, and Event Hubs for a data platform
  • Configuring Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, or Azure Policy for security posture
  • Optimizing Azure costs with reservations, Savings Plans, Spot VMs, or Hybrid Benefit

Core principles

  1. Landing zone first — governance and network topology before any workload
  2. Managed identity everywhere — no credentials in code, ever
  3. Hub-and-spoke by default — centralized firewall, spokes for workload isolation
  4. Policy as guardrails — enforce standards at the management group level, not per resource
  5. Cost visibility before commitment — analyze usage patterns before buying reservations
