Securing the hybrid cloud with Azure Security Center and Azure Sentinel
Infrastructure security is top of mind for organizations managing workloads on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid. Keeping on top of an ever-changing security landscape presents a major challenge. Fortunately, the power and scale of the public cloud has unlocked powerful new capabilities for helping security operations stay ahead of the changing threat landscape. Microsoft has developed a number of popular cloud based security technologies that continue to evolve as we gather input from customers.

Customize your automatic update settings for Azure Virtual Machine disaster recovery
In today’s cloud-driven world, employees are only allowed access to data that is absolutely necessary for them to effectively perform their job. The ability to hence control access but still be able to perform job duties aligning to the infrastructure administrator profile is becoming more relevant and frequently requested by customers. When we released the automatic update of agents used in disaster recovery (DR) of Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), the most frequent feedback we received was related to access control. The request we heard from you was to allow customers to provide an existing automation account, approved and created by a person who is entrusted with the right access in the subscription. You asked, and we listened!
Azure Stack IaaS – part nine
Before we built Azure Stack, our program manager team called a lot of customers who were struggling to create a private cloud out of their virtualization infrastructure. We were surprised to learn that the few that managed to overcome the technical and political challenges of getting one set up had trouble getting their business units and developers to use it. It turns out they created what we now call a snowflake cloud, a cloud unique to just their organization. This is one of the main problems we were looking to solve with Azure Stack. A local cloud that has not only automated deployment and operations, but also is consistent with Azure so that developers and business units can tap into the ecosystem. In this blog we cover the different ways you can tap into the Azure ecosystem to get the most value out of IaaS.
