The Azure Well-Architected Review (WAR) tool is a free, self-service assessment provided by Microsoft that helps you evaluate your workload against the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework. While Azure Advisor analyses your deployed resources automatically, the Well-Architected Review is a structured, questionnaire-based assessment that evaluates your architecture decisions, processes, and design choices.
The Well-Architected Review is an online assessment hosted at https://learn.microsoft.com/assessments. You answer a series of questions about your workload's architecture, and the tool generates a detailed report with prioritised recommendations.
