What Gets Created
When you activate your subscription, Entegrata automatically provisions the following Azure resources:- Resource Group: Container that organizes all resources for your Entegrata instance
- Managed Identity: Service identity enabling secure authentication between Entegrata components
- Service Bus: Messaging infrastructure for reliable communication between services
- Container App Environment: Platform for running containerized Entegrata services
- Delegator Service: Orchestration component that manages infrastructure deployment
All Azure resources are created in accordance with Microsoft’s security best practices and are configured to meet enterprise security and compliance requirements.
