Azure
Upgrade Azure cloud workflows with Tidal by Redwood to access advanced scheduling, centralized management and seamless integration with Microsoft Azure services.
Automate Azure virtual machine consumption
Rely on the Tidal adapter to help you cut waste and costs.
Allocate wisely
Manage Azure VM resource consumption with Tidal jobs.
Reduce complexity
Simplify your Azure workflows with robust scheduling capabilities.
Consolidate management
Centralize recurring jobs and tasks in your cloud service environment.
Event-driven and serverless scheduling
Unlike the native Azure Scheduler (Azure Logic Apps), which has limited functionality, Tidal’s adapter empowers you to efficiently handle scheduled jobs, leverage REST API, Azure Functions and Azure Storage and receive notifications. It enables advanced scheduling functionality, extending beyond the boundaries of Azure solutions and integrating with Azure workflows. With Tidal, you can automate cross-application business processes, utilizing the capabilities of SQL Server, SQL Database, machine learning, App Service and Azure Portal.
What the adapter enables
Use Tidal jobs to bring serverless Azure resources online when you are ready to run jobs in your compute instance — and take them down when you’re not. Based on OAuth security access and control, you can define Tidal jobs to automate the consumption and associated costs of Azure virtual machines, so you only pay for them when you need them.
- Capture and reuse virtual machine images
- Create a virtual machine instance with defined templates in Azure or by specifying parameters in Tidal
- Deallocate or delete virtual machines
- Ensure secure authentication and access control with Azure Active Directory
- Integrate with PowerShell for powerful scripting and automation
- Start, monitor, stop and restart Azure virtual machines
How it works
The integration provides the functionality of the Azure Scheduler, plus more advanced capabilities not available in the native scheduler:
- Apply local, business and financial calendars to control when jobs run
- Centralize change management for schedules
- Define scheduling dependencies between Azure and other processes
- Extend scheduling capabilities to Java and Linux-based environments
- Leverage graphical views of schedules
- Use time- and event-based scheduling
- Utilize endpoints effectively to define connection points
Integrating Tidal with Azure services
The Tidal adapter for Azure also provides integration with popular Azure services, fitting seamlessly into the ones your processes are using:
- Azure AD
- Azure Service Bus
- Azure Web PubSub
- Service Principal

Tidal and Azure integration FAQs
-
How does Tidal integrate with Azure?
The Tidal adapter for Azure enables you to build event-driven, scalable and serverless components, with Tidal handling specific tasks and responding to events without managing servers.
-
What are the use cases for Azure integration?
Tidal's adapter for Azure, particularly Azure Data Factory (ADF), streamlines job scheduling and data management within the Azure portal, offering advanced features beyond the native Azure Scheduler, like scheduling pipeline runs, managing data flow, and automating workflows. Some additional use cases include enhanced scheduling, data flow and transformation and handling cross-application dependencies.

How to create a scheduled job in Azure?
While Azure's built-in scheduling via Logic Apps offers basic functionality, Tidal provides a more robust solution for creating advanced scheduled jobs. Tidal's adapter allows you to leverage REST APIs, Azure Functions and Azure Storage, alongside features like SQL Server, SQL Database, machine learning and App Service, to fully automate cross-application business processes within Azure. You'll gain extended scheduling capabilities and comprehensive notifications, surpassing the limitations of standard Azure scheduling tools.
