For Admins

To provision Azure resources in Cloud Labs, you will need to grant Vocareum permission to manage relevant aspects of your Azure account.

This article walks through the basic process to connect your Azure account to Vocareum.

Consider using the Advanced Guide if you would like to prioritize flexibility and security in the integration process: Cloud Labs: Bring Your Own Azure Account – Advanced

Choosing Between the Basic and Advanced Guides

The Basic Guide offers a less complex setup suitable for straightforward integrations, while the Advanced Guide provides a more in-depth, customizable, and secure approach for organizations with advanced requirements.

Select the Basic Guide if:

  • You have an Azure subscription and seek a straightforward integration process.

  • Your organization does not require extensive customization or granular access controls.

  • You prefer a quicker setup with minimal configuration steps.

Opt for the Advanced Guide if:

  • You need to manage multiple Azure subscriptions under a unified structure.

  • Your organization requires detailed access controls, custom roles, and specific security configurations.

  • You aim to implement centralized policies and compliance measures across various departments or projects.
