Deploying the Workspace

We can easily set up our first Azure Machine Learning workspace with the help of CLI, as follows:
  • Log in to your Azure environment via the CLI- $ az login, that will open a website with an AAD login screen, and when you return to the console, you will have some information about your AAD tenant, your subscription, as well as your user.

  • However, if you want to check which subscription is active (for more that one subscription), you can use $ az account show --output table command. 

  • Now, after being done with all that, you have to check the situation with the installed extension via $ az extension list command.

  • You should also remove the old version carefully, so that you won't break a script still in use. To do this, you can use $ az extension remove -n azure-cli-ml; or $ az extension remove -n ml commands.

  • Now, you can install the ML extension via  $ az extension add -n ml command,

  • You can look at the help page for the extension  ($ az ml -h).

  • You can also check if anything is missing for the creation of the workspace via  $ az ml workspace create -h command.

  • Now, as a resource group is required which in turn also require a location, we have to look for an available data center location for the Azure cloud with the help of  $ az account list-locations -o table command, which can be used to create the resource group.

  • Finally, if you want to check the deployment at any point, then, you can run $ az ml workspace show -g mldemo -w ml demows command.

If it is being considered to be used, then following areas should be covered during a Microsoft Sentinel deployment project: Consider the timelines and the strategy for a migration to AMA (Azure Monitor Agent) before the MMA end-of-life.  Consider the central deployment and management methodology for MMA. Determine which endpoints are in scope for deployment as these affect the log ingestion volume significantly.  Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) Organizations with MMA as the main Microsoft Sentinel agent should start planning the migration to AMA as soon as possible to avoid a rushed migration. One of the main advantages of AMA is the ability to control the log collection policy centrally and apply different policies against different...

The templates can be used to activate/deploy schedule alerts, create customized dashboards, create automation playbooks and perform threat-hunting activities. Generally, once deployed, the resources created have to be adjusted to match the existing environment, configure local credentials, etc. Methods of deployment: Manual- Administrator can manually configures the Microsoft Sentinel resources with the help of Azure portal. Any manual process has the inherent risks of human operator error, lack of compliance with potential change control procedures, and u...

Various organizational units may require a level of access to specific dashboards or sets of data. Microsoft Sentinel offers the ability to assign table-level permissions and limit the level of access to the minimum required to perform requisite job functions.  Role-based Access Control (RBAC) Requirements Microsoft Sentinel offers an extensive list of Azure built-in roles that can be used to provide granular access according to the job requirements and permitted level of access. Some of them are various Microsoft Sentinel dedicated roles: Microsoft Sentinel Contributor- Can perform all engineering-related configuration, such as creating alert rules, configuring data connectors, and additional similar tasks.  Microsoft Sentinel Reader- Can...
