Handy Azure Resources

These resources have been really handy for me when working on Azure projects.

Azure Services Reference

Licensing

Cloud Adoption Framework

Well Architected Framework

Azure Architecture and Design Patterns

Azure Data Centers and Service Availability

The service availability matrix was really handy to understand which services are available in which regions so we can plan accordingly.

Navigate your storage account and do appropriate action you need to perform on them.

Great tool to just navigate your Azure Storage locally without the need of using the Azure Portal. I use the Blob storage to store my SQL bacpac files and this tool is quite handy to download them or perform other actions.
