Relay namespace should use Standard SKU

Medium Azure General namespaces-relay-namespace-standard-sku

Applies to

Microsoft.Relay/namespaces

What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when skuName must equal Standard. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.

How to fix it

Upgrade to Standard SKU for enhanced security features and zone redundancy. In Azure Portal: Namespace > Pricing tier > upgrade to Standard. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-bus-messaging/service-bus-premium-messaging

CLI

az relay namespace update --ids "{id}" --sku Standard

Bicep

resource relayNamespace 'Microsoft.Relay/namespaces@2024-01-01' = {
  name: '{name}'
  location: location
  sku: { name: 'Standard', tier: 'Standard' }
}

Terraform

resource "azurerm_relay_namespace" "{name}" {
  name                = "{name}"
  resource_group_name = "{rg}"
  location            = var.location
  sku_name            = "Standard"
}
