Azure Lighthouse
Enable multitenant management with scalability, higher automation, and enhanced governance across resources.
Overview
Azure Lighthouse provides a single control plane for service providers to view and manage Azure at scale across all their customers. Through Azure delegated resource management, customers can grant precise and auditable access to their resources without the service provider needing to switch between tenants. This streamlines management tasks and enhances governance for both service providers and enterprises managing multiple tenants.
