AzureScout — discover, inventory, and assess everything in your Azure environment from one command. Run Invoke-AzureScout with no parameters for a guided wizard, or drive it with switches: by default it inventories Azure resources, Entra ID, and identity objects (Excel, JSON, Markdown, AsciiDoc); add -Assessment and it runs a read-only CAF/WAF landing-zone assessment, scoring the tenant against Cloud Adoption Framework design areas and Well-Architected pillars and producing Power BI, self-contained HTML, executive PowerPoint, and JSON/Excel evidence. See everything. Own your cloud. (Requires PowerShell 7 on PowerShell Core.)

Release Notes

v3.6.0 - The collector-payload wiring audit, closed out. Nearly 100 collector manifests existed, were fully tested, and produced Excel-only rows - but never reached the assessment collect (collect.json) the React report actually renders from. This release closes that gap: 95 collectors wired across Networking, Hybrid, Monitor, Defender, Databases, DevOps, Management, Security, Storage, and Update Manager categories (coverage moves from 77 to 172 of 245 tracked manifests), plus 3 genuinely new collectors authored from scratch for services that had none - Microsoft Entra Verified ID and Microsoft Entra External ID (the governance/landing-zone-relevant one), both Graph-backed rather than ARM/ARG. Along the way, a real defect in the test suite's own infrastructure was found and fixed: a shared mock-cleanup idiom silently no-opped, letting mock state leak across test files - corrected everywhere it appeared, restoring a genuinely clean full test run. v3.5.1 - Three things v3.5.0 said were fine. Every one was found by USING the product rather than reading the test results. (1) The wizard offered every report format except the one it renders: choosing both inventory and assessment - the commonest path there is - fell through to the inventory-only format list, which contains no React at all. An assessment run now offers React (the deliverable, and the default) plus Json/JsonEvidence; a menu-honesty test fails if the product is ever again asked to promise what it will decline to produce. (2) One tenant in eight could not render at all: dotted member enumeration over an EMPTY collection resolves against the array object rather than its zero elements, so a tenant with management groups but no policy assignments threw and produced no report; rewritten with ForEach-Object, and all eight banked corpus tenants now render. (3) The diagram-overlap gate was green because it inspected nothing: the fixture builder wrote flat keys while the real payload uses dotted paths, so every diagram hit its empty-data guard; the fixture now emits the payload's own key shape and the gate was proved to fail on a manufactured overlap. v3.5.0 - The report is a product, not a page: the React report became a multi-page application - Overview, Inventory & audit (18-category blade view with every collector listed including zeros, filter/sort item tables, tenant structure, audit callouts and a full cost-optimization blade), Assessments (a complete conformance register per assessment), Diagrams (management-group hierarchy, VNet and subnet IP utilization, full-screen zoom), Data & drift, and Remediation plan - with Executive/Consultant/Data as a depth toggle, Markdown and JSON exports, and conformance clause R-04 enforced so the renderer no longer re-invokes the scoring engine. All other assessment report formats remain on hold. See CHANGELOG.md for the full history.
