Azure Lighthouse Eases Delegation of Azure Management

• Azure Lighthouse is a free set of management capabilities that helps Microsoft partners work with Azure customer deployments.
• Lighthouse simplifies the process of giving partners access to customer deployments and consolidates management across multiple customers.
• Lighthouse could make it easier for customers to outsource management of their Azure deployments while boosting the availability and quality of partner services.

Azure Lighthouse became generally available in July 2019. It provides tools and user interfaces (UIs) to help Azure partners, such as Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), set up access to Azure customer deployments and manage those deployments at scale without the tedious manual steps that were previously required. The offering could improve Azure management processes for partners and help them provide more comprehensive services to customers. Some customers might use the Lighthouse capabilities to help a central IT team manage Azure deployments across multiple business units, such as departments or subsidiaries.
