Quickstart
AZ Atlas is a local, read-only desktop map of your Azure environment: sign in with your own account, choose a scope, and see your subscriptions, networks and resources as a live diagram. AZ Atlas only reads; it never changes anything in Azure.
The full quick-start (install, first start, offline data) follows with the first release.
Finding your way around
The window has five areas:
- Top bar: where you are, as
Tenant › Scope › Focus. Click the tenant to switch tenants (your home tenant first, then recently used ones); click the scope to choose another one or one of your recent scopes. Next to it, a badge shows whether the data is live, an offline copy, partly readable or throttled, with a button to reload the map. On the right: search, and your account with its menu. - Left rail: Explorer, View, Filters, Legend, Snapshots, IP plan, Findings and Standards. Each opens a panel that you can close again; IP plan shows its view in place of the map.
- Map in the middle, with details of the selected element on the right. For a management group, subscription or resource group, "Focus on this" shows only that part of the map, without reloading; the path in the top bar leads back.
- Bottom bar: zoom, fit, the overview map and the level of detail on the left; the time of the data, diagnostics progress and coverage on the right.
