SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Deployed Azure PaaS applications often ship with single points of failure: non-zone-redundant plans, LRS storage, missing health probes, and no multi-region failover. This Skill scans your live Azure resources, surfaces these gaps in a clear feature-pivoted checklist, and drives staged remediation end-to-end with your confirmation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Reliability Assessment: Queries Azure Resource Graph to evaluate zone redundancy, storage replication (LRS/ZRS/GRS/GZRS), health probes, and multi-region failover, then presents a four-row status table with per-resource detail. - Staged Remediation: Applies quick wins first (zone redundancy, health checks) via Azure CLI or by patching your Bicep/Terraform IaC, then gates slow operations like storage migration and multi-region setup behind explicit consent. - Multi-Region Failover Setup: Generates active-passive architecture with Azure Front Door, secondary-region compute and storage, in both Bicep and Terraform. - Use Case: Ask "Is my Function App zone redundant?" and get a full reliability checklist for your resource group, then say "fix it" to have the Skill enable zone redundancy, upgrade storage to ZRS, and optionally deploy a secondary region with Front Door. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to assess the reliability of my Azure resource group and fix any zone redundancy or health probe gaps it finds.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-reliability

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my Azure Function App is zone redundant?▼

Run an Azure Resource Graph query on microsoft.web/serverfarms checking the properties.zoneRedundant flag, or ask the assistant to assess your resource group. Flex Consumption (FC1) and Premium (EP1+) plans support zone redundancy; Consumption (Y1) does not.

How do I enable zone redundancy on an App Service plan?▼

Scale the plan to at least 2 workers with az appservice plan update, then set properties.zoneRedundant=true via az resource update. Zone redundancy requires Premium v2, v3, v4, or Isolated v2 tiers; Basic and Standard plans must be upgraded first.

Does Azure Functions Flex Consumption support health check paths?▼

No, Flex Consumption (FC1) and Consumption (Y1) plans do not support the platform healthCheckPath setting. You must add an HTTP-triggered /api/health endpoint in your function code instead, which the Skill only does after explicit user consent.

Can I upgrade Azure storage from LRS to ZRS without downtime?▼

Yes, Standard general-purpose v2 accounts support live migration using az storage account migration start, which keeps the account accessible but can take hours to days. Premium or legacy account kinds require manual migration to a new ZRS account with planned downtime.

What are the limitations of this reliability assessment?▼

The Skill currently covers only Azure Functions and Azure App Service; Azure Container Apps resources are detected and reported but not deep-dived or remediated. Multi-region setup is never started automatically and requires explicit user approval after core reliability is green.
