Microsoft Azure Relay

Microsoft Azure Relay - An Overview

Azure Relay is a cloud service that enables you to securely expose services that run within your corporate network to the public cloud without opening a firewall connection or requiring intrusive changes to your corporate network infrastructure. Applications Manager's Azure Relay monitoring tool helps to monitor your Azure Relay service, gain valuable insights into its operation, proactively manage issues, and ensure seamless connectivity between on-premises and cloud environments.
