Details

Details tab contains attributes below about the Virtual machine.

Attribute Description
Name The display name of the virtual machine with tenant suffix
Location The Azure region where the virtual machine is deployed
VM Size The size of the virtual machine (e.g., Standard_D8as_v6)
Provisioning State The provisioning state of the virtual machine (e.g., Succeeded)
Os Type The operating system type of the virtual machine (e.g., Linux)
Created Time The date and time when the virtual machine was created
Entra ID Login Extension Indicates whether the Entra ID login extension is installed. When installed, it enables Entra ID authentication for RDP (Windows) or SSH (Linux) access
Tenant The tenant the virtual machine belongs to

Managed Identities

The Managed Identities tab lists Azure Active Directory service principals (managed identities) assigned to the virtual machine. A managed identity lets the VM authenticate to other Azure resources (e.g. Key Vault, Storage, SQL) without storing credentials in code or configuration. Any role granted to an identity listed here is effectively granted to this VM, so these identities are part of its attack surface.

Attribute Description
Name The display name of the managed identity with tenant suffix
Display Name The display name of the service principal
Type The service principal type (e.g., ManagedIdentity)
