Microsoft unveiled the Microsoft Operations Management Suite at Ignite 2015.

This suite consisted of a set of Azure-hosted management services that would manage cloud services running not just on Azure and Windows Server, but also on AWS, Linux, VMware and/or OpenStack. It featured its’ own portal, under microsoft.com/oms. By January 15th 2019 this portal is deprecated and OMS is currently known as Azure Log Analytics, or ALA for short.

The Operations Management Suite, brought together Operational Insights; Azure Automation; Azure Site Recovery and Azure Backup as one integrated suite.
