New Microsoft partnership embeds Datadog natively in the Azure portal

Microsoft Azure and Datadog have partnered to streamline the process of purchasing, configuring, and managing Datadog directly within the Azure portal. This integration simplifies the onboarding experience for users, allowing them to visualize real-time Azure metrics in their Datadog account quickly. The partnership also enables single sign-on with Azure Active Directory during Datadog account creation. Additionally, users can manage the integration between Azure and Datadog using a native resource blade within the Azure portal. This consolidated billing approach simplifies purchasing and invoicing processes for new Datadog customers, allowing their usage to appear directly on their Azure invoice.
