10 Tips to Rocking as an Azure Architect
summary
Ten concrete actions: start with Azure Architecture Center diagrams and copyable patterns, codify deployments with Bicep over ARM JSON (or Terraform), and stop ClickOps by saving templates. Run the Azure Pricing Calculator examples — an App Service plus SQL pops to ~A$1,600 for a dedicated SQL instance versus a DTU option at about A$5, producing earlier comparisons like A$146 vs A$50 — and prefer static web + Cosmos where suitable. Add a designated cloud architect, set budgets and alerts for cost spikes, use Front Door for latency, and use the on‑prem to cloud cost tool that showed A$1.1M savings.
