Governance in Azure is one aspect of Azure Management. This article covers the different areas of

management for deploying and maintaining your resources in Azure.

Management refers to the tasks and processes required to maintain your business applications and
13

the resources that support them. Azure has many services and tools that work together to provide
14

complete management. These services aren't only for resources in Azure, but also in other clouds

and on-premises. Understanding the different tools and how they work together is the first step in

The following diagram illustrates the different areas of management that are required to maintain
19
19
any application or resource. These different areas can be thought of as a lifecycle. Each area is
20
20
required in continuous succession over the lifespan of a resource. This resource lifecycle starts
21
21
with the initial deployment, through continued operation, and finally when retired.

No single Azure service completely fills the requirements of a particular management area. Instead,
26
26
each is realized by several services working together. Some services, such as Application Insights,
27

provide targeted monitoring functionality for web applications. Others, like Azure Monitor logs,
