Deploying resources and workloads at scale requires a healthy amount of automation. Automation helps to deliver consistent and repeatable results. I’ve tried to categorize some of the technology and provide some pointers to areas of application and pros and cons.

In February I had the chance to attend a session by Yuri Diogenes, Program Manager at Microsoft, on how Azure Security Center works and how to demo it in a real life scenario.

The Microsoft Monitoring Agent is able to send data to more than one workspace at the same time. Unfortunately only a single workspace at a time can be configured through the Azure Portal.
