## What it is
A collection of Azure design review checklists covering landing zones, AKS, WAF, cost, and other Azure services, available as Excel spreadsheets and Azure Resource Graph queries. It replaces ad-hoc spreadsheet reviews with version-controlled, collaboratively maintained checklists aligned to Microsoft best practices.

## Use cases
- run an azure landing zone design review
- check my aks deployment against best practices
- generate a well-architected framework review checklist
- audit azure resources with resource graph queries
- track design review findings in version control instead of excel
- review azure cost optimization recommendations

## When to choose
- you are performing Azure architecture or workload design reviews
- you want Microsoft-vetted best-practice checklists for services like AKS, AVD, or SAP on Azure
- you need review findings tracked with Git-based collaboration

## When to avoid
- you need automated compliance scanning rather than manual checklist reviews
- your infrastructure is not on Azure
- you want a fully automated assessment tool with no manual input
