Azure Lighthouse
Save
Azure Lighthouse empowers organizations to centrally manage, secure, and govern their Azure, multi-cloud, and on-premises resources. By leveraging Azure Lighthouse, managed service providers (MSPs), cloud administrators, and enterprise IT teams can seamlessly manage multiple subscriptions and tenant resources from a single, unified console.
Benefits of Azure Lighthouse
Azure Lighthouse offers several key benefits for managing Azure and hybrid environments:
- Centralized management: Azure Lighthouse enables central IT teams to manage permissions, policies, and configurations for multiple Azure subscriptions and tenants. This centralized approach streamlines management tasks, enhances visibility, and improves security.
- Enhanced security: Azure Lighthouse provides granular access controls, allowing organizations to define who can access and manage specific resources. This helps ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data and configurations.
- Simplified governance: Azure Lighthouse simplifies governance by providing a comprehensive view of all managed resources. This enables organizations to define and enforce consistent policies across their entire Azure environment.
- Cost optimization: Azure Lighthouse helps organizations optimize costs by providing visibility into resource usage and spend across multiple subscriptions and tenants. This enables them to identify inefficiencies and implement cost-saving measures.
How Azure Lighthouse Works
Azure Lighthouse operates on a delegation model. The delegating tenant (customer) grants permissions to the managing tenant (service provider or central IT team) to manage specific resources in their Azure environment. The managing tenant can then perform management tasks, such as:
- Managing subscriptions and resource groups
- Assigning roles and permissions
- Configuring policies and governance
- Monitoring and troubleshooting resources
- Performing security audits
