Azure Quick Review (azqr) v4.0.0 is now available. This release expands azqr beyond best-practice assessments with new tools for VM sizing, Service Health analysis, SQL Server lifecycle management, and region selection.
It also includes breaking changes, so if you are upgrading from v3.x, review your scripts and automation before replacing the binary.
Running an Azure VM on an older SKU generation, hitting quota limits, or simply looking for an alternative size? The new alternative-vm-sku command in Azure Quick Review (azqr) makes it trivial to discover compatible alternatives for any Azure VM SKU ranked by a multi-factor compatibility score.
Whether you’re modernizing workloads, responding to quota constraints, or optimizing costs, having a ranked list of compatible SKU alternatives removes the guesswork from VM size selection.
Azure Quick Review (azqr) version 3.0.0 is here with a major architectural refactoring. While the core functionality remains the same, the CLI has been redesigned to provide better flexibility and control over scan stages.
If you have scripts or automation using azqr, this post will help you migrate to the new version.
