Best Practices Analyzer and operation rules

Operation rules are applied to identify best-practice-related possible causes when a role is unable to perform its prescribed tasks in the enterprise. One example of a violation of operation rules that a Best Practices Analyzer scan might find is a service that is paused or stopped.
