 With Conditional Access policies, you can specify access requirements to websites and services. For example, your access requirements can include requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) or [managed devices](require-managed-devices.md). 
 
-When you access a site or service directly, the impact of a related policy is typically easy to assess. For example, if you have a policy that requires MFA for SharePoint Online configured, MFA is enforced for each sign-in to the SharePoint web portal. However, it is not always straight-forward to assess the impact of a policy because there are cloud apps with dependencies to other cloud apps. For example, Microsoft Teams can provide access to resources in SharePoint Online. So, when you access Microsoft Teams in our current scenario, you are also subject to the SharePoint MFA policy.

 As a best practice, you should set common policies across related apps and services whenever possible. Having a consistent security posture provides you with the best user experience. For example, setting a common policy across Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, and Skype for business significantly reduces unexpected prompts that may arise from different policies being applied to downstream services.

 Azure Advisor will utilize intelligence regarding your Azure blob storage object count, total size, and transactions to detect if one or more of your storage accounts would be best suited to enable lifecycle management to tier data. It will prompt you to create Lifecycle Management rules to automatically tier your data to Cool or Archive to optimize your storage costs while retaining your data in Azure blob storage for application compatibility.

+With [Ephemeral OS Disk](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/windows/ephemeral-os-disks), Customers get these benefits: Save on storage cost for OS disk. Get lower read/write latency to OS disk. Faster VM Reimage operation by resetting OS (and Temporary disk) to its original state. It is more preferrable to use Ephemeral OS Disk for short-lived IaaS VMs or VMs with stateless workloads. Advisor has recommendation for resources which can take benefits with Ephemeral OS Disk.

 ## Ensure application gateway fault tolerance
 
 This recommendation ensures the business continuity of mission-critical applications that are powered by application gateways. Advisor identifies application gateway instances that are not configured for fault tolerance, and it suggests remediation actions that you can take. Advisor identifies medium or large single-instance application gateways, and it recommends adding at least one more instance. It also identifies single- or multi-instance small application gateways and recommends migrating to medium or large SKUs. Advisor recommends these actions to ensure that your application gateway instances are configured to satisfy the current SLA requirements for these resources.
