Description
The use of Basic, Free, or Consumption SKUs in Azure, whilst cost effective, have significant limitations in terms of what can be monitored and what support can be realized from Microsoft. Typically, these SKUs do not have a service SLA and Microsoft may refuse to provide support for them. Furthermore, they offer reduced or no high availability guarantees and have limited observability and diagnostic capabilities. As a result, Microsoft may limit or refuse support for workloads running on these SKUs. Consequently Basic, Free, or Consumption SKUs should never be used for production workloads unless your organization explicitly approved it as an exception. While an automated assessment procedure exists for this recommendation, the assessment status remains manual. Determining appropriate SKUs depends on the context and requirements of each organization and environment.
