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

v3.8.1 - The check that failed a god account. The per-subscription ARM pre-flight matched the role name 'Reader' literally, failing accounts holding Owner or Contributor - strict supersets of Reader's */read - and telling them to grant a role they did not need. The check now accepts the built-in supersets by name and custom roles by their definition's Actions, and shows which role satisfied the ask. v3.8.0 - One taxonomy, no broken scripts. The 12 legacy assessment registry keys join the source-anchored naming: LandingZone becomes 'CAF: Azure Landing Zone'; CASA, DevOps Capability Assessment, SMART and FinOps Review become 'Microsoft: *'; Cost, CrossResource, Monitoring, UpdateManager and Governance become 'Scout: *'; the AVS pair becomes 'Workload: *'. Every old name keeps working through an alias map with a one-time deprecation warning - '-Assessment LandingZone' still runs the same assessment - pinned by a dedicated backward-compatibility test suite. Wizard defaults, internal defaults and the documentation move to the new names. v3.7.0 - The network picture, completed. The assessment collect gains the networking relationship data the diagrams were starving for: vnetPeerings (remote VNet named, peering state, gateway-transit flags), vpnConnections (sharedKeyPresent as a bool only - the pre-shared key value is never collected), localNetworkGateways, virtualHubs, and richer expressRouteCircuits, routeTables (a forced-tunnel 0.0.0.0/0 route is detectable from a scalar), loadBalancers, applicationGateways (wafEnabled), frontDoors, trafficManagerProfiles, natGateways and bastionHosts - both collect paths produce identical shapes, gated by two new plumbing test suites. The VNet connectivity diagram draws real peering-pair edges; the hybrid diagram gains per-connection detail, an ExpressRoute lane and Virtual WAN hubs; two new diagrams land: Edge & delivery and Routing & forced tunnelling. The wizard's 46-entry assessment menu is grouped under CAF / WAF / Specialized reviews / Service category deep-dives without renaming a single registry key. See CHANGELOG.md for the full history.
