  Service Providers

  Operate Azure Stack Hub as a multi-tenant service platform. Use the CMS to onboard customers, publish offers and plans, meter resource consumption, and generate invoices automatically. Commission frameworks ensure that downstream partners and resellers are remunerated consistently.

  Enterprise IT

  Adopt the CMS as an internal service management layer. Business units or departments can be modeled as tenants, with subscriptions allocated for development, testing, or production workloads. Chargeback and showback capabilities allow IT organizations to allocate costs transparently across internal consumers.

  Hybrid Cloud Operators

  Leverage the CMS in environments that span Azure Stack Hub and external cloud platforms. Usage data can be consolidated across platforms, enabling consistent billing and governance regardless of where resources are provisioned.

  Partners and Distributors

Out of Scope

The CMS does not replace the core resource providers in Azure Stack Hub (Compute, Storage, Network) or native Azure monitoring tools. Instead, it complements them by adding commercial, operational, and governance layers on top of existing capabilities.
