Why should you care?

You cannot fix what you cannot see in production.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# Observability Checklist
# Portal: Monitor / Application Insights
# CLI idea: query failures and latency

What happened?

• Pick one signal (errors or latency) and define an alert threshold.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
2. Write the resource names you used.
3. Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
4. Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
5. Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain Observability Checklist simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.
