Azure setup.

Axiom currently provides Azure configuration validation and preview-derived analysis. Live Azure inventory and write execution are not enabled by the verified release.

Preview is not a live connector

The current Azure path validates configuration shape and can render preview findings. It must not be presented as a successful live subscription scan. Before live availability, the product needs authenticated Azure Resource Manager inventory traversal, least-privilege verification, tenant-scoped persistence, error handling, and safe integration tests.

What is available

Azure credential and configuration-shape validation
Runtime mode and credential-presence reporting without exposing secrets
Preview snapshots, findings, and recommendations that remain labeled preview
An audited scan API that reports whether its source is preview or live
Desktop UI states for unavailable, disconnected, and failed connectors

What is not verified

Live VM, Storage, VNet, NSG, SQL, IAM, or cost inventory
Production topology and drift claims derived from live Azure responses
Azure action dispatch, retries, validation, or rollback
Provider-side evidence proving a real operation occurred

Configuration required for a future live path

Register an application in the organization's Microsoft Entra tenant.
Create a service principal and prefer workload identity federation over a long-lived client secret.
Grant only the read permissions needed at subscription or resource-group scope.
Enter the Tenant ID, Subscription ID, and Application ID in the installed application.
Run a connector test in a dedicated non-production subscription and require an actual ARM response before reporting connected.

Download Axiom Agent from the release page. Do not create Azure credentials solely for the preview path unless your administrator has supplied an approved evaluation plan.

Trust questions

Is Azure live today?

Not in the verified release. The current path is configuration validation plus preview-derived analysis.

Does preview data come from my tenant?

No. Preview output must remain labeled and cannot be treated as live provider evidence.

Can Axiom change Azure resources?

No verified Azure execution adapter is enabled.

What should a missing credential show?

Disconnected or unavailable, never a synthetic success.

When can the status change?

After live inventory and action paths are implemented, permission-reviewed, integration-tested, and recorded in the release availability matrix.

Where do I verify release status?

Use the download page, release notes, and in-app capability status for the installed version.

Still blocked?

Include the failed step and error. Never send a password, token, or cloud secret.
