Azure Quick Review (azqr) is a CLI tool used to identify Azure resources that may be or not compliant with Azure best practices and recommendations.

Azure Quick Review (azqr) is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to analyze Azure resources and identify those that may or may not comply with Azure best practices and recommendations. It helps users ensure their Azure environments meet established standards for security, performance, and cost-efficiency.

Key Features:

  • Comprehensive Recommendations: Analyzes resources using three types of recommendations:
    • Azure Resource Graph (ARG) queries from the Azure Proactive Resiliency Library v2 (APRL).
    • Azure Resource Manager (ARM) rules built with the Azure Golang SDK.
    • Orphan resource detection via ARG queries from the Azure Orphan Resources project.
  • Detailed Output: Results are exported to an Excel file containing multiple sheets, including recommendations, impacted resources, resource types, inventory, Azure Advisor insights, Microsoft Defender for Cloud recommendations, and more.
  • Cost Analysis: Includes a detailed breakdown of costs associated with scanned subscriptions over the past three months.
  • Power BI Integration: Generates a Power BI template to visualize scan results, aiding in deeper analysis and reporting.
  • Customizable Output: Supports generating CSV files and offers options to control data obfuscation (e.g., hiding subscription IDs) for enhanced privacy.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for IT professionals, cloud architects, and DevOps engineers who need to ensure Azure environments adhere to best practices. By using azqr, users can optimize resource configurations, reduce operational costs, enhance security compliance, and improve overall environment resilience.

Available via winget for easy installation on Windows systems.

Azure Quick Review

Azure Quick Review (azqr) is a powerful command-line interface (CLI) tool that specializes in analyzing Azure resources to ensure compliance with Azure's best practices and recommendations. Its main objective is to offer users a comprehensive overview of their Azure resources, allowing them to easily identify any non-compliant configurations or areas for improvement.

Azure Quick Review Recommendations

Azure Quick Review (azqr) scans your resources with 3 types of recommendations:

  • Azure Resource Graph (ARG) queries provided by the Azure Proactive Resiliency Library v2 (APRL) project
  • Azure Resource Manager (ARM) rules built with the Azure Golang SDK
  • Azure Orphan Resources (ARG) queries provided by the Azure Orphan Resources project

To learn more about the recommendations used by Azure Quick Review (azqr), you can refer to the documentation available here.

Scan Results

The output generated by Azure Quick Review (azqr) is written by default to an Excel file, which contains the following sheets:

Development environments: Set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=dev to use Azure CLI (az) or Azure Developer CLI (azd) credentials.

Production environments: Set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=pros to use environment variables, workload identity, or managed identity credentials.

Authorization

Azure Quick Review (azqr) requires the following permissions:

  • Reader over Subscription or Management Group scope

Running the Scan

To scan all resources in all subscription run:

./azqr scan

To scan all resources in a specific management group run:

./azqr scan --management-group-id

To scan all resources in a specific subscription run:

./azqr scan -s

To scan a specific resource group in a specific subscription run:

./azqr scan -s  -g

Binary Verification

To verify the authenticity of downloaded binaries, see our Binary Verification Guide.

Filtering Recommendations and more

You can configure Azure Quick Review to include or exclude specific subscriptions or resource groups and also exclude services or recommendations. To do so, create a yaml file with the following format:

azqr:
  include:
    subscriptions:
      -  # format: 
    resourceGroups:
      -  # format: /subscriptions//resourceGroups/
    resourceTypes:
      -  # format: Abbreviation of the resource type. For example: "vm" for "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines"
  exclude:
    subscriptions:
      -  # format: 
    resourceGroups:
      -  # format: /subscriptions//resourceGroups/
    services:
      -  # format: /subscriptions//resourceGroups//providers//
    recommendations:
      -  # format:

Then run the scan with the --filters flag:

./azqr scan --filters

> Check the rules to get the recommendation ids.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issue while using Azure Quick Review (azqr), please set the AZURE_SDK_GO_LOGGING environment variable to all, run the tool with the --debug flag and then share the console output with us by filing a new issue.
