One of our most commonly asked questions is when we will support Worker Groups in Azure. We’ve heard you Azure enthusiasts loud and clear, and it’s here some exciting news that will make your data management much easier. We’re introducing Cribl-managed Stream data plane, also known as Worker Groups, in Microsoft Azure. These Worker Groups are oil to your engine – essential for data operations, handling everything from shaping and transforming to enriching and processing your data. This is designed to make data management smoother, more efficient, and less costly, giving you the tools you need to handle data in Microsoft Azure with ease. For security teams, using Microsoft Sentinel paired with Cribl Stream’s Managed Worker Groups in Azure now offers a streamlined and scalable approach to managing security data operations effectively.

Key Benefits

• Multi-cloud flexibility: You can seamlessly access your data across Azure and other clouds, simplifying and reducing the barriers to using multi-cloud environments.
• Regional choice and control: You can choose the exact region where your Worker Groups are deployed. This reduces latency by bringing them closer to the source.
• Performance boost: Scale your deployment as needed. Processing data directly within Microsoft Azure can minimize costs by reducing latency and improving overall efficiency.

What’s the Big Deal?

Let’s face it—data management can be complex and time-consuming. It can often feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help. We’re helping relieve these pressure points head-on by allowing you to set up shop in the region of your choice, getting closer to the source. By letting Cribl manage the control plane, you can streamline operations, reduce complexity, and improve overall efficiency, letting you focus on what matters most.

Your Data Your Way

While you could already self-manage Cribl Stream’s data plane in Microsoft Azure, you now have the flexibility to run Cribl Stream in Microsoft Azure without the need to install, operate, and maintain your own instance. With Cribl.Cloud, you can instantly scale up your deployment as your needs grow and evolve, resting assured that your data is managed efficiently and securely while keeping costs down.

Using Microsoft Sentinel?

Cribl Stream helps enable more efficient management of security data by routing only high-quality, enriched data into Microsoft Sentinel. Plus, with noise reduction, you can ensure only valuable data goes into Microsoft Sentinel for threat detection optimization. Whether your data is spread across on-premises and cloud environments or fully in the cloud, Stream helps you get the right data into Microsoft Sentinel for faster and more precise insights.
