Overview
Turbo360 is made up of five modules, each built for a different operational job. Use this page to find the module that matches your task and jump straight to its quick start. To understand what Turbo360 is for, see What is Turbo360?.
Business value
Each module addresses one operational job and works on its own, so teams can start with the module that solves their most pressing problem and add others later. The modules share one Turbo360 navigation, which gives operations and engineering teams a shared view of their environment.
How it works
Cost Analyzer, Business Applications, Business Activity Monitoring, and Azure Documenter share a common authentication model and connect to Azure through service principals registered in your Turbo360 organization. Tenant Manager connects to Microsoft 365 tenants through an app registration in Microsoft Entra ID.
| Module | Use it to | Connects to | Start here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost Analyzer | Track Azure spend, set budgets, detect anomalies, and find savings | Azure subscriptions, through a service principal | Cost Analyzer quick start |
| Business Applications | Group Azure resources into applications and monitor them as a unit | Azure subscriptions, through a service principal | Business Applications quick start |
| Business Activity Monitoring | Trace business transactions across your integrations end to end | Supported Azure data sources (pull) and your applications (push through the BAM API) | BAM quick start |
| Azure Documenter | Generate Azure documentation on demand or on a schedule, then export or publish it | Azure subscriptions, through a service principal | Azure Documenter quick start |
| Tenant Manager | Manage Microsoft 365 licenses, users, and Microsoft Entra ID groups across tenants | Microsoft 365 tenants, through an app registration in Microsoft Entra ID | Tenant Manager quick start |
The four Azure modules appear in the Turbo360 navigation after you sign in. Tenant Manager appears once it is turned on for your account.
Deployment, security, and access at a glance
Turbo360 supports different deployment options and keeps data, access, and permissions separated and controlled.
| Area | What Turbo360 provides |
|---|---|
| Deployment | SaaS, or private hosting in your own Azure subscription in Azure Global Cloud, Azure China Cloud, or Azure US Government Cloud |
| Data isolation | A dedicated database per customer on SaaS. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and one module's data is not shared with or visible from another. |
| Access control | Role-based access at the organization level, scoped per module. Administrators manage connections, and other users work within their assigned role. |
| Least-privilege access to Azure | Reader at subscription scope, plus Cost Management Reader for Cost Analyzer. Read permissions are sufficient for Cost Analyzer, Business Applications monitoring, and Azure Documenter. You can use separate service principals per module or subscription. |
| Scale | No limit on the number of Azure subscriptions you connect, and Tenant Manager works across multiple Microsoft 365 tenants |
| Governed changes | In Tenant Manager, nothing changes in Microsoft 365 until an approver approves a task or you switch on an automation |
| Integration | APIs for several capabilities in Cost Analyzer, Business Applications, Business Activity Monitoring, and Azure Documenter. API keys can't be scoped to Tenant Manager. |

FAQs
- How current is the data in each module?
It varies by module. Cost Analyzer imports Azure Cost Management data on a schedule, and that data can lag by 24 to 48 hours. Business Applications queries Azure at regular intervals. Business Activity Monitoring receives pushed events as your integrations send them and queries supported Azure data sources in pull mode. Azure Documenter reads your subscriptions on demand or on a schedule. Tenant Manager syncs every 6 hours. The Azure modules are also subject to Azure API rate limits.
