Assess and improve the reliability posture of PaaS Applications (Azure Functions and Azure App Service). Scans deployed resources for zone redundancy, ZRS storage, health probes, and multi-region failover. Presents a feature-pivoted checklist, then drives staged remediation (CLI or IaC patches) end-to-end with user confirmation. WHEN: "assess reliability", "check reliability", "zone redundant", "multi-region failover", "high availability", "disaster recovery", "single points of failure", "reliab

When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when user wants to:
"Assess my Function app's reliability"
"Assess my Web app's reliability"
"Check the reliability of my resource group" (App Service and Functions resources only)
"Is my app zone redundant?" (App Service and Functions resources only)
"Is my app service plan zone redundant?"
"Make my app zone redundant" (App Service and Functions resources only)
"Make my app service plan zone redundant"
"Set up multi-region failover for my app" (App Service and Functions resources only)
"Check my reliability posture"
"Find single points of failure" (App Service and Functions resources only)
"Enable high availability for my app" (App Service and Functions resources only)
"Check disaster recovery readiness"
"Improve my app's resilience" (App Service and Functions resources only)
Scope note: This skill currently covers Azure Functions and Azure App Service only. If the user asks about Azure Container Apps reliability, acknowledge that support is planned but not yet available, and only proceed with the parts that apply to App Service and Functions resources in scope.
