Overview:
Automanage is the latest approach of managing your virtual machines with optimized, automated operations across the entire VM lifecycle. This is a service that eliminates the need to discover, know how to onboard, and how to configure certain services in Azure that would benefit your virtual machine.
Major Benefits:
The major benefits of using Automanage are:
- Intelligently onboards virtual machines to select best practices Azure services
- Automatically configures each service per Azure best practices
- Monitors for drift and corrects for it when detected
- Provides a simple experience (point, click, set, forget)

This eliminates the need of looking into each of these services separately and ensuring that all is put in place for vm’s as per best practices. Managing the entire vm lifecycle becomes quite easy using Automanage as this can be onboarded with automation and can be managed all together from Automanage dashboard in the portal.
