Role-based access control (RBAC)

• Access control based on assigned role
• Determines user access and actions
• Principle of 'least privilege'

Azure Policy

• Used for defining and enforcing policies across Azure resources
• Ensure adherence to AppSculpt's standards and regulatory requirements
• Azure Policy vs. RBAC
  • Azure Policy: rules for resources
  • RBAC: rules for user roles

Azure Monitor

• Insights
  • Metrics, charts, and reports
  • E.g. resource performance
• Log Analytics
  • Query event data
  • E.g. resource errors
• Alerts
  • Monitor performance automatically
  • E.g. availability of resources
