Ensure that SKU Basic/Consumption is not used on artifacts that need to be monitored (Particularly for Production Workloads)
Why This MatterS
Using Basic or Free SKUs for production workloads removes your ability to monitor services effectively and voids Microsoft service level agreements (SLAs). Without an SLA, Microsoft may refuse support incidents, and you lack essential telemetry for performance and health monitoring. This exposes your organization to extended downtime and unresolved issues that directly impact business continuity.
What Aether365 Checks
This check scans your Azure subscriptions for Basic or Consumption SKUs on public IP addresses, network load balancers, Redis Cache, SQL PaaS databases, and VPN gateways. It appears in the Aether365 dashboard under the subscription security checks category and flags any resources using Basic or Free SKUs that should use Standard SKUs for production workloads.
