You can now create and manage dedicated clusters in Azure portal including cluster create, delete, link and unlink workspaces, change commitment tier and view clusters’ configuration.
Dedicated clusters are typically used when additional security and control is required: Customer-managed key, Lockbox, Double encryption, Cross-query optimization, Availability zones, and Ingestion from Azure Event Hubs.
Up until now, clusters could be provisioned and managed programmatically using CLI, PowerShell, and REST – We’ve received your asks to support it in Azure portal for simpler configuration and view, and easily answer questions like: how many workspaces are linked, or what is the commitment tier?
Additional experiences such as Customer-managed key configuration are planned next.
