Azure Management Documentation
This section provides comprehensive documentation for managing your Azure resources effectively and efficiently. Azure management services empower you to deploy, monitor, secure, and optimize your cloud infrastructure.
Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is the deployment and management service for Azure. It provides a management layer that enables you to create, update, and delete resources in your Azure account. You can manage all resources for your solution as a single entity, using a declarative model, rather than imperative scripts.
- Deploying resources with ARM templates
- Understanding ARM template syntax
- Using Bicep for Azure deployments
Azure Policy
Azure Policy helps you enforce organizational standards and assess compliance at scale. It allows you to grant or deny resources based on rules defined in policies. Azure Policy is a powerful tool for implementing and enforcing governance across your Azure environment.
- Creating custom policies
- Understanding built-in policy definitions
- Auditing and remediating non-compliant resources
Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enables granular access management for Azure resources. RBAC allows you to define who has access to what, and what actions they can perform. This is crucial for maintaining security and ensuring users only have the permissions they need.
- Assigning roles to users, groups, and service principals
- Managing custom roles
- Understanding role scope
Azure Monitor
Azure Monitor is a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud and on-premises environments. It helps you understand the performance and availability of your applications and services, and proactively identify issues.
- Collecting logs and metrics
- Creating alerts and action groups
- Visualizing data with workbooks and dashboards
Azure Automation
Azure Automation provides cloud-based process automation and configuration services. It helps you manage and standardize Azure and non-Azure configurations, deploy updates, and orchestrate operational tasks across your Azure resources.
Azure Blueprints
Azure Blueprints enables you to define a repeatable set of Azure resources that implement and govern your organizational standards. Blueprints automate the deployment of approved cloud foundations, including policy assignments, role assignments, and ARM templates.
Azure Cost Management + Billing
Azure Cost Management + Billing provides tools to monitor, allocate, and optimize your cloud spending. Understand your costs, identify areas for optimization, and manage your billing effectively.
Azure Advisor
Azure Advisor is a personalized recommendation service that helps you follow best practices to optimize your Azure deployments. It provides recommendations across cost optimization, high availability, performance, security, and operational excellence.
