Assistance Needed for Azure AI Workload Well-Architected Assessment Form

Question

Hi Azure Support,

I am currently working on the AI and Machine Learning specialization within Microsoft Azure. As part of the requirements, I need to create an audit plan, which involves conducting a Well-Architected Review specifically for Azure AI workloads.

However, I have encountered an issue: I cannot find the module B 2.2 Azure AI workload Well-Architected assessment form. I have been using the link provided below to access the assessments, but it does not list an option specifically for Azure AI workloads:

Link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/assessments/azure-architecture-review/

Here's the specific requirement from the specialization guidelines:

The current assessment options appear to be more focused on infrastructure and DevOps, rather than being tailored to Azure AI workloads.

Could you please provide the link or guidance on how to access the Azure AI workload Well-Architected assessment form?

Thank you for your help!

Hello Syed Umair Hasan ,

Thanks for reaching out in the Microsoft Q&A!

Since there isn't a dedicated Well-Architected Assessment Form for Azure AI workloads, you can use the general Azure Well-Architected Framework and adapt it for your needs. Start with the general Well-Architected Review, focusing on the five pillars: Reliability, Security, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Operational Excellence. Tailor each pillar to your AI workload by addressing specific concerns like data pipeline resiliency, model security, and performance optimization. Supplement this with resources from the Microsoft Azure AI documentation and mission-critical workload guidance. Document your review process and considerations to ensure a solid foundation for your AI solution.
