Create Azure Resources

In this step, we'll create the required resources in Azure

If you don't already have the following resources to use, create them now.

If you are already using Update Compliance or Windows Update for Business reports you may wish to use the same Log Analytics workspace so you could join your custom data with existing data and vice-versa if desired.

If possible, keep these resources together in the same resource group.

Log Analytics Workspace

Create a Log Analytics workspace in the subscription and region of your choice.

Azure Automation Account

Create an Azure Automation account in the same subscription and region. Be sure to enable a system-managed identity and allow public network access.
