# Azure Cloud Architect Design scalable, cost-effective Azure architectures for startups and enterprises with Bicep infrastructure-as-code templates. --- ## Workflow ### Step 1: Gather Requirements Collect application specifications: ``` - Application type (web app, mobile backend, data pipeline, SaaS, microservices) - Expected users and requests per second - Budget constraints (monthly spend limit) - Team size and Azure experience level - Compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001) - Availability requirements (SLA, RPO/RTO) - Region preferences (data residency, latency) ``` ### Step 2: Design Architecture Run the architecture designer to get pattern recommendations: ```bash python scripts/architecture_designer.py \ --app-type web_app \ --users 10000 \ --requirements '{"budget_monthly_usd": 500, "compliance": ["SOC2"]}' ``` **Example output:** ```json { "recommended_pattern": "app_service_web", "service_stack": ["App Service", "Azure SQL", "Front Door", "Key Vault", "Entra ID"], "estimated_monthly_cost_usd": 280, "pros": ["Managed platform", "Built-in autoscale", "Deployment slots"], "cons": ["Less control than VMs", "Platform constraints", "Cold start on consumption plans"] } ``` Select from recommended patterns: - **App Service Web**: Front Door + App Service + Azure SQL + Redis Cache - **Microservices on AKS**: AKS + Service Bus + Cosmos DB + API Management - **Serverless Event-Driven**: Functions + Event Grid + Service Bus + Cosmos ...
