Virtual Machines This section includes virtual machine information. An Azure virtual machine is a software based machine running on a cloud based hypervisor. Azure Virtual Machine extensions are small applications that provide post deployment configuration, automation tasks and functionality for Azure Virtual Machines.
A classic Azure virtual machine is a software based machine running on a cloud based hypervisor. Availability Sets This section includes availability sets information. Virtual Machines Permissions. An Azure availability set provides for two or more Virtual Machines to be deployed across different fault domains to avoid a single point of failure. An Azure SQL elastic pool provide a simple cost effective solution to manage the performance goals for multiple databases that have widely varying and unpredictable usage patterns.
Storage Accounts This section includes storage account information. A storage account provides scalable, durable, and highly available cloud based storage for virtual machines and applications. Network Interfaces This section includes network interface information. Within Azure, a network interface is created as an independent resource allowing it to be decoupled from the virtual machine and reused if required.
Name Subnets Network Interfaces. A network security group contains a list of access control list ACL entries that allow or deny network traffic to the virtual machine instances found in a virtual network. An Azure route table allows custom routing table entries to be created for cloud based resources. An Azure public IP address is an internet accessible address that can be assigned to Azure cloud hosted resources.
Virtual Networks This section includes virtual networks information. An Azure virtual network is a representation of a network in the cloud including the IP address blocks, DNS settings, security policies, and route tables. Web Applications This section includes web applications information. Authentication Is Enabled. With Azure Documenter integration to Document — Generate, publish and authorize access to documents online hassle free. Archive Documents — PDF of online publishing, Azure Documenter provides document history management for you to access old documents for future reference and comparison.
Once you create the documents you might want to share it with the wider community. You may want to review the document to keep track of the environments and send it to a colleague to review. Though you have SharePoint, office, or other online platforms to share your files, they demand manual efforts and resources to store, maintain versions, distribute, and access control.
Maintaining versions on word or PDF and sharing them with stakeholders through shared folder access becomes too difficult to manage. As teams grow, managing access control of documents to a wider audience is tedious.
Document, an online Knowledge Base authoring, and publishing platform is used to publish the documentation generated by Azure Documenter. It provides online publishing, restricted access to the documentation, and archiving capabilities. Tags : Serverless Arunkumar Kumaresan. Last updated on: August 5, There are various possibilities but will need some level of technical competence and regular maintenance: Use Azure portal capabilities to configure asset management and monitoring Build custom tools using APIs exposed by Microsoft Azure support Use 3 rd party tools and services Not all stake holders will have access and the necessity to check through these tools, but it will be easy for the decision-makers to investigate the reports, summaries, comparison assessments, and useful charts or diagrammatic representations.
Microsoft Azure usage is constantly evolving Microsoft Azure like any other cloud service provider makes it easy to instantiate and deploy resources at ease on a subscription basis. How to document Microsoft Azure usage? There are certain aspects to the documentation: What is to be documented? How do we document? Relating the documentation to the deployment and usage? Keeping the documentation up to date? Making it transparent and accessible to the relevant stakeholders?
What are the benefits of using Serverless Azure Documenter? Azure Documenter saves a lot of time by automating up-to-date documentation of your Microsoft Azure environments. It generates a report on your assets and reduces manual effort. It will provide stakeholders at all levels, confidence, and clarity of the adoption to Microsoft Azure cloud.
It aggregates inventory of all your Resource groups. It eliminates manual activity to search and collect data about different resources and deployments. It eliminates the need for a dedicated documentation team will save you a lot of time considering how little it costs. Capabilities of Azure Documenter You would be spending days creating and updating documentation but now you can spend time doing other important activities. Serverless Azure Documenter provides capabilities to generate: Executive Summary Key decision-makers may not need all the intricate details of the cloud implementation and technical aspects.
All they need is a summary at a high level: What is the usage? Where are the wastages? Are the compliance and security guidelines met? What is the cost associated? Change tracking reports As the business grows, Azure cloud implementations could expand vastly with thousands of resources and groups cutting across multiple subscriptions and environments.
Azure Security Compliance reports Primary need for any infrastructure deployment is to ensure security and compliance of data, practices, access, and use. Azure cost analysis Businesses across the world are embracing cloud computing than ever before. To show this in action, below is an example of an Intune article running on docs. We've also increased the font size for the left navigation and the text itself, something customers have been asking for UserVoice - Increase Font size.
Another simple enhancement we've made based on your input is to provide an estimated reading time for an article. We also added date stamps to content to help customers understand how fresh the information is based on UserVoice feedback. One key area of investment based on customer interviews and UserVoice feedback was improvements in site navigation, information architecture and content organization based on the customer's intent.
We refactored our content into logical groupings around evaluating, getting started, planning, deploying, managing, or troubleshooting products or services. Below is a screenshot of the Intune documentation home page:.
Another common piece of feedback was that our content at times can be overwhelming because of its length and that long articles are more difficult to navigate and find what you're looking for. To address this, we've broken down many longer articles into smaller logical steps and provided Previous and Next buttons at the bottom of articles to navigate between steps in a multi-part tutorial as shown below.
While many customers like the ability to have multi-part tutorials, we also heard from customers who want the ability to combine multi-step tutorials into a single, offline printer-friendly PDF. We don't have this yet, but it will be coming soon to the preview. To build a great experience on mobile devices, tablets, and PCs like you asked for on UserVoice , we switched to a responsive layout.
All documentation on docs. This follows in the footsteps of other teams at Microsoft that have already open sourced all or parts of their documentation including ASP.
NET , Azure ,. Every article has an Edit button shown below that takes you to the source Markdown file in GitHub where you can easily submit a pull request to fix or improve content.
Your questions, comments, and feedback are important to us.
