Azure Operator Nexus supports a wide variety of virtualized and containerized network functions from both Microsoft and partners. The platform automates lifecycle management (LCM) of the infrastructure, including network fabric, bare metal hosts, and storage appliances. It also automates LCM of tenant workloads for containerized network functions (CNFs) and virtualized network functions (VNFs).

* **Reduced operational complexity and costs**: Operators can manage their Azure Operator Nexus infrastructure and tenants from Azure. They can build automation to streamline deployment, which helps them decrease time to market and innovate to provide value-add services to their customers.
2828
* **Integrated platform for compute, network, and storage**: Operators no longer need to provision compute, network, and storage separately. Azure Operator Nexus provides an end-to-end platform from the infrastructure to the tenant for applications. For example, the networks associated with the compute infrastructure can be provisioned automatically across the compute and network infrastructure without requiring more teams.

* **Expanding network function (NF) ecosystem**: Azure Operator Nexus supports Microsoft and partner NFs via the Azure Operator Nexus Ready program. These NFs are tested for deployment and lifecycle management on Azure Operator Nexus before they become available in Azure Marketplace.

* **Access to key Azure services**: Because Azure Operator Nexus is connected to Azure, operators can access most Azure services through the same connection as the on-premises network. Operators can monitor logs and metrics via Azure Monitor. They can analyze telemetry data by using Log Analytics or the Azure Machine Learning framework.
3131
* **Unified governance and compliance**: Azure Operator Nexus extends Azure management and services to operators' premises. Operators can unify data governance and enforce security and compliance policies by using [Azure role-based access control](../role-based-access-control/overview.md) and [Azure Policy](../governance/policy/overview.md).
