Production readiness in Azure: A practical guide
summary
Demonstrates a step‑by‑step enrichment of a sample app into a production Azure deployment, with concrete configs: centralized Azure Monitor workspace, diagnostic settings for ~30+ resource types applied via deployIfNotExists Azure Policy, VM agents enabled by the built‑in policy, and Security Center + Secure Score feeding Azure Sentinel. Shows service health alerts wired to action groups and automated remediation via Logic Apps or Functions. Patterns are field‑tested with customers and shown to work end‑to‑end.
