It provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and supports many different programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. **Integrations** Azure offers a broad spectrum of services that generate observability data through various tools and platforms. Apica Ascent integrates these tools into a unified interface, allowing for streamlined monitoring and management. See the sub-modules on this page for integrations for Azure enabled by Apica Ascent. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
