Abstract
As enterprises increasingly adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, managing resources across multiple tenants and environments has become a complex challenge. Azure Lighthouse provides a scalable, secure, and automated approach to delegated resource management, enabling service providers and enterprises to manage multiple Azure environments centrally. This paper explores the architecture, operational strategies, and automation opportunities enabled by Azure Lighthouse. It also highlights integration scenarios with Azure Arc, Azure Policy, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud, demonstrating how unified governance can extend across multi-cloud and hybrid ecosystems. Through case-based analysis, this research identifies performance, security, and cost benefits achievable with automated cross-tenant management and policy orchestration.
Keywords: Azure Lighthouse, multi-tenant management, delegated resource access, Azure Policy, Azure Arc, multi-cloud governance, automation, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), RBAC delegation, Managed Service Provider (MSP), Microsoft Entra ID, cross-tenant security, cloud compliance, Azure Monitor, Defender for Cloud.
