  • Azure managed applications allow IT departments and third parties to manage applications deployed in Azure by business units or customers.
  • They can help make Azure applications more durable and ensure their integrity.
  • Relinquishing application control may limit a customer’s ability to manage updates, costs, and customizations.

Azure managed applications are deployed application instances in Azure that remain under control of the application’s publisher. Managed applications can help IT departments maintain applications deployed by the organization’s business units and help software vendors and service providers manage applications on behalf of their customers.

Azure applications consist of Azure resources such as VMs, databases, and networking elements along with specific functionality that may be delivered in runtimes or libraries. Applications may be created by internal organizational teams or third parties. The Azure marketplace provides a storefront to browse and deploy Azure applications offered by software vendors and service providers.
