The Azure Infrastructure Layer

Using the tests mapped to this layer, you can:

• Promptly detect if the Azure cloud is accessible or not over HTTP/S, and if so, how responsive it is to requests;

• Determine whether/not the target subscription is enabled;

• Isolate the inactive resources in that subscription;

• Find out which resources belong to which resource group;

• Quickly identify services that are about to exhaust their resource quotas;

• Be alerted if the Azure Resource Manager API is inaccessible;

• Know the number and names of services in a Critical/Warning state;

• Proactively detect processing bottlenecks in a Key Vault and rapidly diagnose the root-cause of the bottleneck;

• Identify the resource providers with which the target subscription is registered / not registered / unregistered;
