To monitor Linux virtual machines in AWS using Azure Defender (Microsoft Defender for Cloud) , you must onboard those VMs into Azure's management plane. The recommended and supported approach is via Azure Arc .
Azure Arc enables Azure Defender to extend its security monitoring and policies to non-Azure machines (including AWS and on-premises). Once onboarded through Azure Arc, the Log Analytics agent (MMA
/AMA) can be automatically provisioned, allowing Defender for Cloud to collect and analyze security data.
Microsoft documentation states:
"To monitor machines outside Azure (on-premises or in other clouds like AWS or GCP), onboard them to Azure using Azure Arc. Azure Defender will then auto-provision the required agent and begin monitoring." Thus, enabling Azure Arc and onboarding the AWS VMs meets the goal .
