Tips For Azure Advisor, make sure to check your recommendations regularly. Azure Advisor updates its active recommendations multiple times per day. Reviewing the latest recommendations can help you avoid larger issues by assisting you in spotting and solving smaller ones. Constantly attempt to solve the issues with the highest priority level in Azure Advisor. High-priority issues are marked with red. Leaving high-priority recommendations unresolved can lead to problems down the line.
Best practice: If a recommendation seems less important, you can dismiss it or postpone it. But do not dismiss recommendations until you know why they are appearing and are sure they won’t have a negative impact on you or your users.
