Azure Architecture Center - Azure Architecture Center | Microsoft Learn
“The Azure Architecture Center contains guidance for architecting solutions on Azure using established patterns and practices. When architecting solutions for Microsoft Azure, there are principles to consider, such as design for self-healing, making things redundant, scaling in and out, etc. The Azure Architecture Center is a key resource for successful architecture of solutions in Microsoft Azure.
The Azure Architecture Center contains a plethora of information, such as checklists, anti-patterns, Well-architected frameworks, decision matrixes, and example architecture diagrams and considerations! The Azure Architecture, to me, is a one-stop shop for architecting solutions in Azure without reinventing the wheel!”
