# Life cycle management of records in Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure

Life cycle management in the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure monitors and updates the statuses of Azure resources throughout their entire life cycle, from creation to deletion.

The life cycle management process helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of data in the Configuration Management Database \(CMDB\).

## Life cycle management for CIs in Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure

The following table lists the configuration items \(CIs\) in CMDB and other non-CMDB tables for which life cycle management is available in Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure.
