## Summary for Architecture Assessment

**Key Constraints:**

- Budget: ~$100/month (soft limit) — significant headroom expected
- Internal IT/DevOps monitoring dashboard for 10 users
- No compliance requirements beyond standard EU data residency
- Public endpoints acceptable with Microsoft Entra ID authentication
- Non-critical workload (99.9% SLA, 4h RTO, 1h RPO)

**Recommended Approach:**

- Azure App Service (B1 Basic tier) for web application hosting
- Azure SQL Database (Basic tier, 5 DTU, 2 GB) for persistent storage
- Application Insights (free tier) for monitoring
- Microsoft Entra ID for authentication

**Estimated Monthly Cost:** ~$18–25/month, well within budget.
