guides. Here's what has been created:

   Key Features

  1. Managed Services

  - Azure Database for PostgreSQL with high availability
  - Azure Cache for Redis with SSL/TLS encryption
  - Azure Storage for file management
  - Azure Key Vault for secrets

  2. Deployment Options

  - AKS: Full Kubernetes control with auto-scaling
  - Container Instances: Simpler serverless deployment

  3. Security

  - Managed Identity for passwordless authentication
  - Private endpoints for database and Redis
  - Network security groups and firewall rules
  - SSL/TLS encryption everywhere

  4. Production Ready

  - Automated backups with geo-redundancy
  - Monitoring with Azure Monitor
  - Auto-scaling configurations
  - Disaster recovery setup

  5. Automation

  - One-command deployment scripts
  - Environment validation
  - Health checks and diagnostics
  - Backup automation

  🚀 Quick Start

  # Prerequisites
  cd documentation/deployment-guides/azure-managed/
  # Follow 00-prerequisites-managed.md

  # Option 1: Deploy to AKS
  ./scripts/deploy-managed.sh deploy

  # Option 2: Deploy to Container Instances
  ./scripts/container-instances-deploy.sh deploy

  💰 Cost Comparison

  | Deployment Size   | Azure (Monthly) | GCP (Monthly) |
  |-------------------|-----------------|---------------|
  | Small (<50 users) | ~           | ~         |
  | Medium (50-200)   | ~           | ~         |
  | Large (200+)      | ~,823         | ~,794       |

  The Azure deployment uses PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, which provides better performance and
  features, and includes Azure-specific optimizations for the cloud-native environment.
