Service Graph Connector for Azure Multiple Region Complexity

[BillyS]

We are preparing to implement SGC for Azure and our Azure Cloud Engineer is asking about the level of effort for configuring Azure.  They are utilizing multiple regions and they are concerned they must perform each of the 4 steps listed in the Service Graph Connector for Azure - Overview for each region.  Anyone have experience with this and can provide some feedback?  TIA

Hi @BillyS ,

There are basics 4 steps in to configure the SGC for Azure.

1. Setup the guided setup of Azure

2. Configure Data Synchronisations.

3. Enable VM Insights if Required

4. Accessing Connection Details

5. Setting up Multiple connections

Refer the below articles for end to end configuration setup

Thanks for the information AJ.  The concern our Azure engineer is with the verbiage in this article where it states "Steps for creating automation account for each region under each subscription".  Their feedback is that creating an automation account for each region under each subscription "...complicates the build and feels unnecessary."

Hi Billy,
Have you had any breakthroughs in this? I'm in a similar situation with our cloud team. Having a LAW and Automation account across 20+ subscriptions makes it a hard sell. If there was an alternative to that, I'm more than willing to give it a try.

Hello Brad, I guess I missed your question.  Hopefully you find this useful if you haven't already figured it out.  Here is the response from SN:

I just wanted to follow up from our meeting last Friday regarding the Azure Service Graph Connector configuration. Per Vaibhav (Azure SGC PM), multiple LA workspaces are not required. You can use a centralized workspace or multiple. Whichever you choose.

Vaibhav stated that the article was old and needed to be updated. He was grateful that this brought it to his attention. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
