15:51 Azure SRE Agent: Real Cost, Safe Setup and Least Privilege (Measured)
Portal vs Terraform, the NSG rule it found, incidents in Review vs Autonomous, least-privilege roles and the measured bill: 27 AAU, 2.97 USD.

Who
Anass Kartit
AI & CLOUD ARCHITECT · 15+ YEARS
I build Azure labs you can redeploy, break them on purpose and publish what I measured: the Terraform, the roles, the bill and the parts that did not work. Explanations follow Microsoft Learn, with every product claim linked to it.
Measured labs
Disposable subscriptions, real faults, costs from the Azure Retail Prices API and the portal. No estimate shown as a measurement.
Terraform
Every lab is code: plan, apply, break with a variable, destroy. Least-privilege roles written out, not clicked.
Plain explanations
Videos for people who decide and people who build, aligned with Microsoft Learn and its own caveats.
