MCP grounding requirement

この skill は .vscode/mcp.jsonmicrosoft-learn server(https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp)を前提にします。レビュー前に必ず Microsoft Learn MCP Server で公式ドキュメントを検索・取得し、指摘には参照 URL を含めてください。

優先ツール:

  1. microsoft_docs_search — WAF Cost Optimization pillar、design principles、checklists、Azure サービス別ベストプラクティスを検索する。
  2. microsoft_docs_fetch — 採用する根拠ページを取得する。
  3. MCP が利用できない場合のみ、npx @microsoft/learn-cli search "Azure Well-Architected Framework cost optimization pillar" を代替として使う。

Required searches

  • Azure Well-Architected Framework cost optimization pillar design principles
  • Azure Well-Architected Framework cost optimization checklist
  • Azure cost optimization autoscale SKU reserved capacity tagging best practices

Review focus

  • SKU / plan / tier の過剰または過小プロビジョニング
  • Autoscale、serverless、consumption model の活用
  • Reserved capacity / Savings Plans / Spot の適用余地
  • リソースタグ、予算、コスト可視化
  • ログ、メトリクス、保持期間のコスト効率
  • ストレージ階層、データ転送、アイドルリソース
