### Azure Storage Discovery Workspace (ASDW)

The Azure Storage Discovery Workspace is the resource used to deploy and manage Storage Discovery in your subscription. It defines the scope of analysis - such as subscriptions or resource groups and once created, it enables visibility into capacity, transactions, and configuration trends across storage accounts within the selected "scope".

Azure Storage Discovery workspace can be deployed in a subscription of your choice and in one of the supported regions.
Once a discovery workspace is created in a specific region, it can aggregate metrics from storage accounts located across a broader set of supported regions, irrespective of the region in which the discovery workspace itself resides.

### Define WorkspaceRoots

WorkspaceRoots specifies the top-level Azure resource identifiers - such as subscriptions or resource groups - where Storage Discovery initiates its scan for storage accounts. These identifiers serve as the root of the discovery process, defining the overall scope and boundaries of your Azure estate that is analyzed. Select the subscriptions and/or resource groups that need to be included in the workspace.
