Azure Lighthouse

Azure Lighthouse handles cross-tenant management for service providers and enterprises operating multiple Azure subscriptions. It centralizes monitoring and security enforcement across separate tenants, applying role-based access control and just-in-time permissions to limit exposure. The platform also provides on-demand auditing to track administrative actions and ensure compliance standards are met without requiring direct access to every underlying subscription.

This setup suits managed service providers or large organizations juggling numerous distinct Azure environments who need unified visibility and strict security boundaries. The main friction point is the pricing structure, which operates strictly on a pay-as-you-go basis with no free tier available. You pay for the management capabilities from the start, so budgeting must account for these ongoing costs rather than relying on a trial or limited free allowance.
