This adds a second destination alongside Azure SQL Managed Instance and brings the entire migration lifecycle into a single guided workflow in the Azure portal. The migration method relies on backup and restore combined with log shipping, using Azure Blob Storage as an intermediary staging area. This article covers what the feature does, prerequisites, how the migration works, and its limitations.

AWS Security Hub now natively monitors Microsoft Azure resources, marking the service's first expansion into direct multicloud management. The integration automatically discovers Azure virtual machines, storage containers, and SQL databases to evaluate them for misconfigurations and software vulnerabilities. Findings from Azure are normalized into the same format as AWS alerts, allowing security teams to manage risks across both platforms from a single console.

Microsoft has introduced Windows 365 for Agents, a specialized Cloud PC service designed to provide a managed and isolated execution environment for AI agents. These dedicated virtual machines allow organizations to apply the same security and compliance frameworks to automated workloads that they currently use for human employees. By moving agents away from unmanaged local or shared infrastructure, the service aims to eliminate risks like privilege escalation and lateral movement.
