We are thrilled to announce that the Azure Monitor Baseline Alerts-Azure Landing Zones (AMBA-ALZ) Portal Accelerator has officially reached General Availability (GA). This achievement is a big step forward in our goal to make onboarding and simplify monitoring your Azure environment regardless of whether or not you are fully aligned to Azure Landing Zones.

What is the AMBA Portal Accelerator?

As we introduced AMBA into the ALZ portal experience (not to be confused with this accelerator!) and with the increased flexibility AMBA-ALZ provided for the preferred action notification types, this introduced a need to provide a post ALZ-AMBA Portal to accommodate those notification types that required an existing resource (Azure Function, Event Hub, and Logic App) and in the case of deploying ALZ possibly for the first time these resources may not be present.

The AMBA-ALZ Portal Accelerator is designed to simplify the process of setting up baseline alerts, helping you boost your observability maturity in your Azure environment with minimal effort or expertise. You can set up alerts faster and with more confidence. You'll get timely notifications about critical metrics and log anomalies that might signal potential issues with your Azure workloads.

What Scenarios Does The Accelerator Help Address?

There are a few scenarios as to where the Accelerator can help meet you where you are in your journey:

  • You are an existing Azure customer and looking to mature your observability posture (and at the same time with low effort move one step closer to being aligned to Azure Landing Zones
  • You have an existing Azure Landing Zones implementation prior to AMBA being released and are looking to update your environment to include AMBA-ALZ
  • You may be new to Azure and deploying Azure Landing Zones (the recommended way to onboard to Azure) and wanting to use Azure Function, Event Hub, and Logic App Notification Types
