## What it is
Azure Resource Inventory (ARI) is a PowerShell module that generates detailed Excel reports of Azure environments a user has read access to. It documents all resources, produces network topology diagrams, and runs cross-platform including Azure Cloud Shell.

## Use cases
- generate an excel inventory of all azure resources
- document my azure subscription for a customer audit
- create network topology diagrams of my azure environment
- export azure resource inventory to spreadsheet
- run azure inventory from cloud shell
- produce security center findings report for azure

## When to avoid
- you need real-time monitoring or alerting rather than point-in-time reports
- you require non-Excel output formats like JSON or CSV natively
- you manage multi-cloud environments beyond Azure
