Hello folks!

Today, we’re diving into Microsoft Copilot in Azure. It’s like having a super-smart assistant in the cloud!

It’s an AI-powered tool that’s all about making your life easier when you’re working with Azure, when you’re navigating the Azure portal, or using the Azure mobile app.

Now, keep in mind, at the time of recording this, Copilot in Azure is still in preview. That means it’s like a sneak peek, and there are some extra terms you have to check out before you jump in. 

This Copilot in Azure can be a real lifesaver. It knows a ton about Azure’s services and resources, it also has access to all the information in Azure Resource Graph.

It’s like having a cheat sheet for the cloud. You can ask it questions about your environment, and it’ll give you answers tailored to your own Azure resources, and your level of access.

That means that Microsoft Copilot in Azure will only report on the resources that you have access to. It can only take the actions that you have permission to perform, and it requires confirmation before making changes to your environment.

It complies with all existing access management rules and protections such as:

1- Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC),

2- Privileged Identity Management,

3- Azure Policy,

4- and resource locks.

You can chat with Copilot right in the Azure portal or on the go with the Azure mobile app. It’s like texting with a friend who can do some of your homework for you. It’ll answer questions, run queries, and even perform tasks for you, all while keeping your organization’s policies in check.

Oh, to use Microsoft Copilot in Azure you might need to have a chat with your network or security admins about a WebSocket connections to https://directline.botframework.com .

It’s required for Copilot in Azure to work.

Now, Let’s dive into controlling the Access to Microsoft Copilot in Azure.  By default, everyone in your tenant gets to play with Copilot in Azure. But, as the Global Administrator, you’ve got the power to manage access. Want to give specific users or groups a sneak peek? No problem!  the video below shows you how to control access.

Remember, Copilot in Azure only helps you with the stuff you’re already allowed to touch. So, if you’ve already got access to certain data and resources, “Cool, let’s get to work!” But if it’s locked away from you, or you don’t have rights, Copilot respects that – no sneaking in or anything. It’s all about keeping things above board.

And that’s a wrap on this episode of ITOpsTalk “Using Microsoft Copilot in Azure”! Stay tuned to this channel for more episodes and updates

Catch you in the cloud!

Cheers!
