[StratoLens] Add user-defined notifications for specific changes

Hi All, I'm Mike, the solo developer of StratoLens. I've been working on this tool for close to a year now, and I've been beta testing it for the past 3 months with the help of some amazing folks. I have a video highlighting all the features at a high level here (with timestamps for each feature!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TtPdBv-dfY I'm looking to do one more round of beta testing before fully releasing it, so I've decided to make this post looking for anyone who's interested in trying it out, and giving me their feedback :). StratoLens is a documentation, reporting, and recommendation tool for Azure. I built it, because maintaining infrastructure documentation is a chore no one likes doing. Once I realized how quick and easy it was to document the current state, it occurred to me I could track a historical state of the environment, and compare each snapshot. I then decided to add activity logs to collect details on who made the changes, added some cost information, and the tool kept growing from there. \* Automatically scans all subscriptions in your tenant on a schedule (configurable, defaults to every 8 hours) that it has access to (Defaults to Tenant Root Group) using \*\*Reader only access\*\* \* This is a **self-hosted** tool, which means ALL data it discovers is retained in YOUR Azure environment. No data ever leaves your control. The cost for self hosting is typically **less than $10 per month**. \* **Compare scans** to see what's changed from one scan to the next - like a git diff between commits - or see the history of a single resource. \* Ingests activity logs and change analysis to correlate who made the changes it detects. \* **Detect Cost spikes** and correlates to the detected changes. \* **User Access reporting and recommendations** \- see who's not using their access, and get recommendations for access optimization - such as a user with Owner that never changes changes. \* **Orphaned Resource and VM Sizing recommendations** \- Lots of cost savings opportunities are out there. One of my beta testers found $1,400 of waste within the first day of installing it. \* **Network Visualizer** \- see diagrams of your network, and trace packet paths through it. \* **Email Notifications** \- Completely configurable, get notified when new cost spikes occur, new orphaned resources are detected, and about a dozen other things you can setup. More details on my website at: [https://www.strato-lens.com](https://www.strato-lens.com) Full disclosure - I do plan for this to be a paid offering, however I'm not there yet. I am in the process of going through the Azure Marketplace to get this available there, but until then, the tool is \*\*totally free during beta.\*\* At this point I'm just looking for a few more folks to give it a try, help me shake out any last few bugs or data inconsistencies, and just get a feel for "Does this actually bring you value". My beta testers so far have really been finding the tool useful, and they've helped me flesh out quite a few bugs. I would call the tool extremely stable at this point, but every Azure Environment is a little different, so I am just looking for a larger sample base :). If you'd like to give this thing a try, feel free to reach out. Discord (Link on my website) is the easiest way to communicate, but you can also send a chat request here, or send an email via the contact link on the website above. Or if you want to wait until full release, please sign up for the mailing list on my site, and I'll notify you when we get approved for the Azure Marketplace. Until the marketplace offering is in place, install is extremely simple - it's a one line command pasted into Cloud Shell. It runs a terraform deployment to install the tool which runs as a container in Azure Container Apps with a cosmosdb backend (serverless mode, so very cost efficient). Thanks for taking the time to read this! \-Mike
