    Contoso Ltd is a global financial institution with 80 Azure subscriptions spread across 4 management groups. They currently use a decentralized logging approach where each application team deploys their own Log Analytics workspace.

    • Security and audit logs must be retained centrally for 2 years to meet compliance.
    • Application teams must still be able to query their own application performance logs without having access to other teams' data.
    • The solution must minimize administrative overhead and data duplication.
    • Costs must be optimized.
