ARCTIC PARADE / FIELD GUIDE
Know what is covered.
Clear boundaries make useful intelligence. Here is what works today and what is still being built.
Available now: CSV and Microsoft catalogue
Import customer inventories, compare recognised services against the published Azure retirement catalogue, follow vendor sources and manage an action queue. The published Azure Advisor coverage table is fetched daily, with a checked timestamp and refresh status shown in the catalogue. Source-checked does not mean independently assessed customer impact.
Azure connections: available with authorised setup
Map a read-only customer service principal and Azure subscription to an explicit customer. The connector stores encrypted credentials, syncs inventory and cached Advisor retirement recommendations, and shows health and freshness. Automatic Microsoft tenant-consent onboarding and SSO are still planned. The adapter is implemented but live Azure authentication and account connectivity remain unvalidated. Exact feature/date/service evidence can confirm an affected resource after successful live integration; unlinked observations stay visible for review.
AWS and Google Cloud: planned
CSV inventory can include these vendors, but automated cloud discovery and corresponding lifecycle coverage are not implemented. Accepting an inventory row does not mean we monitor that technology.
On-premises: start with an export
Use a CSV from your existing inventory process. There is no universal on-premises connector. RMM, virtualisation and hardware management integrations can provide inventory in future; useful matches still require supported lifecycle notices.
SSO: planned
Local email/password accounts are available today. Microsoft Entra organisation sign-in and tenant policies are planned separately from customer inventory permissions.
What a scan cannot tell you
No matches is not evidence that an estate is fully supported or unaffected. A technology/version match may need configuration checks. Read the original notice before acting and keep your existing vendor notifications in place.
