Windows Azure Pack Custom Management Portal Overview

Applies To: Windows Azure Pack

WhilstWindows Azure Pack for Windows Server does provide its own administrator website for tenants to manage their own resources, Service providers sometimes prefer to provide their own custom management portal for their tenant customers to use. Typically this would be because of the investment already made in an existing portal solution or because of a specific deployment scenario they need to address.The infrastructure Windows Azure Pack provides allows service providers to create a tenant custom portal through the Service Management providing REST API Endpoint.
