It sits in the practical space between Azure Advisor, scripted Azure Resource Graph queries, and consultant-style cloud review checklists. ### Project history The Azure/azqr repository was created in October 2022. The official README describes Azure Quick Review as a CLI for analyzing Azure resources against Azure best practices and recommendations, with the goal of giving users a comprehensive overview of non-compliant configurations and improvement areas. The project connects its recommendation model to Azure Resource Graph queries from the Azure Proactive Resiliency Library v2 and the Azure Orphaned Resources project, plus Azure Resource Manager rules built with the Azure Go SDK. That makes azqr a curated assessment engine rather than only a wrapper around one Azure API. The release stream reached v1.0.0 in April 2024, and the GitHub releases API shows v3.x releases and previews in 2026, indicating continued development of the assessment corpus and reporting workflow. ### Adoption history The official README documents install paths for Linux and Azure Cloud Shell via install script, Windows via WinGet or PowerShell, and macOS via Homebrew. The batch input also lists Homebrew and WinGet packages, matching the tool's audience of Azure operators who may run scans from local workstations, Cloud Shell, or automation hosts. ### How it is used The quick start is operationally direct: authenticate with Azure CLI, run `azqr scan`, and open the generated report with `azqr show`. The README says scan output defaults to an Excel file with recommendation, impacted-resource, resource-type, inventory, and out-of-scope sheets, with optional CSV generation and optional stages for Advisor, Defender, Policy, Arc SQL, and Costs. ### Why package nerds care Azqr matters to package nerds because it packages a changing Azure best-practices review into one binary with a stable command surface. That is easier to distribute and pin than a pile of ARG snippets, spreadsheets, and portal instructions. Its output format also explains its package shape: operators want a local executable that can run against many subscriptions and produce shareable artifacts, so Homebrew and WinGet distribution are not decorative, they are part of the workflow. ### Timeline - 2022: Azure/azqr repository created. - 2024: v1.0.0 release published. - 2026: v3.0.0 release published. - 2026: v3.2.0 preview release series active. ### Related projects - The README explicitly ties Azure Quick Review recommendations to Azure Proactive Resiliency Library v2, Azure Orphaned Resources, Azure Resource Graph, Azure Resource Manager, Azure Advisor, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Azure Policy. ### Sources - GitHub releases API lists v1.0.0 on 2024-04-17, v3.0.0 on 2026-02-16, and v3.2 preview releases in 2026. - GitHub repository metadata: created_at 2022-10-17. - Official README documents purpose, recommendation sources, output workbooks, install methods, and quick start. - input.source_facts.package-manager lists Homebrew and WinGet packaging. ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** azqr - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - winget - Microsoft.Azure.QuickReview: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: Microsoft.Azure.QuickReview from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Cloud CLI packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/cloud-clis/) - Belongs to a cloud or infrastructure command family. - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [azcopy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/azcopy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [aztfexport](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aztfexport/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [azure-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/azure-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [azure-dev](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/azure-dev/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [azurite](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/azurite/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [static-web-apps-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/static-web-apps-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [terracognita](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/terracognita/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: azure, cli, cloud-infrastructure. - [actions-batch](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/actions-batch/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cloud-infrastructure. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
