Internal Azure Strategic
Use this workflow for Azure decisions where comparing viable directions is the
immediate deliverable.
When to use
Use when /internal-azure selects a strategic Azure decision, tradeoff note, or
multi-lens analysis.
Workflow
- State the decision statement: the Azure choice and the outcome it must
support.
- Record assumptions about current state, constraints, timing, ownership,
cost, and required evidence.
- Select the minimum lenses that can change the recommendation and make the
active lenses explicit.
- Compare realistic options with concrete tradeoffs, operating impact, and
cost-value implications when material.
- Give a recommendation and explain why it wins under the stated assumptions.
- Record material risk, blast radius, and validation needs.
- State reversibility and the conditions for staged adoption or rollback.
- Apply the completion criteria: the decision, assumptions, active lenses,
options, recommendation, risks, reversibility, and validation path are
explicit.
Proportional output
- Use a quick answer for a narrow choice with one clear direction.
- Use a decision note when two or three viable options require tradeoff review.
- Use deep analysis for broad, consequential, high-risk, or explicitly detailed
decisions.
Use current Microsoft documentation when freshness about service support,
landing-zone guidance, Policy behavior, regional capability, or service limits
could change the recommendation.
Load references/lens-playbook.md for lens combinations, depth selection, and
decision-note structure.
Completion criteria
Return the decision statement, assumptions, active lenses, realistic options,
recommendation, material risk, reversibility, and validation path.
