We are excited to announce that the Multicloud connector is now generally available for customers for AWS environments. With the Multicloud connector, you can easily connect your AWS accounts to Azure with the following capabilities:
- Inventory: Get an up-to-date, comprehensive view of your cloud assets across different cloud providers. Now supporting over 30+ AWS services (EC2, EKS, S3, Lambda, and more), you can now gain insights into your Azure & AWS environments in a single pane of glass. The agentless inventory solution will periodically scan your AWS environment, project the discovered resources in AWS as Azure resources, including all of the AWS metadata like AWS tags. Now, you can easily view, query, and tag these resources from a centralized location.
- Azure Arc onboarding: Automatically Arc-enable your existing and future EC2 instances so you can leverage Azure and Microsoft services, like Azure Monitor and Microsoft Defender. Through the multicloud connector, the Azure Arc agent will be automatically installed for machines that meet the prerequisites.
How do I get started?
You can easily set up the multicloud connector by following our getting started guide which provides step by step instructions on creating the connector and setting up the permissions on the AWS console.
What can I do after my connector is set up?
With the inventory offering, you can see and query for all of your AWS and Azure resources via Azure Resource Graph. Check out some example queries here. Create your own Multicloud dashboards containing data from both Azure and AWS.
For Azure Arc onboarding, you can apply the Azure management services on your EC2 instances that are Arc-enabled. Learn more here.
We are very excited about the new capabilities. Set up your multicloud connector now for free! Please let us know if you have any questions by posting on the Azure Arc forum or via Microsoft support. Here is the mutlicloud capabilities technical documentation Check out the Ignite session here!
