The following rules are included within the Azure.Pillar.PerformanceEfficiency baseline.

This baseline includes a total of 18 rules.

Name Synopsis Severity Maturity
Azure.AKS.AutoScaling Use autoscaling to scale clusters based on workload requirements. Important -
Azure.AKS.EphemeralOSDisk AKS clusters should use ephemeral OS disks which can provide lower read/write latency, along with faster node scaling and cluster upgrades. Important -
Azure.AKS.NodeMinPods Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) nodes should use a minimum number of pods. Important -
Azure.AKS.PoolScaleSet Deploy AKS clusters with nodes pools based on VM scale sets. Important -
Azure.AKS.StandardLB Azure Kubernetes Clusters (AKS) should use a Standard load balancer SKU. Important -
Azure.AppService.ARRAffinity Disable client affinity for stateless services. Awareness -
Azure.AppService.HTTP2 Use HTTP/2 instead of HTTP/1.x to improve protocol efficiency. Awareness -
Azure.AppService.MinPlan Use at least a Standard App Service Plan. Important -
Azure.CDN.UseFrontDoor Use Azure Front Door Standard or Premium SKU to improve the performance of web pages with dynamic content and overall capabilities. Important -
Azure.ContainerApp.DisableAffinity Disable session affinity to prevent unbalanced distribution. Awareness -
Azure.Databricks.SKU Ensure Databricks workspaces are non-trial SKUs for production workloads. Critical -
Azure.FrontDoor.UseCaching Use caching to reduce retrieving contents from origins. Important -
Azure.Redis.MaxMemoryReserved Configure maxmemory-reserved to reserve memory for non-cache operations. Important -
Azure.Redis.MinSKU Use Azure Cache for Redis instances of at least Standard C1. Important -
Azure.Search.SKU Use the basic and standard tiers for entry level workloads. Critical -
Azure.VM.AcceleratedNetworking Use accelerated networking for supported operating systems and VM types. Important -
Azure.VM.DiskCaching Check disk caching is configured correctly for the workload. Important -
Azure.VM.SQLServerDisk Use Premium SSD disks or greater for data and log files for production SQL Server workloads. Important -
