    @Rajesh Swarnkar
    Thank you for your post!

    When it comes to the difference between Kusto Query Language and Az Graph - I'm assuming you're referring to Azure Resource Graph, the overall difference between them is that KQL is a Query language, while Azure Resource Graph is an Azure Service that uses the KQL language to query Azure Resources.

    Kusto Query Language (KQL)
    From my experience with KQL, I typically used this with the Azure Data Explorer service where I was able to store read-only data, and query for it using the KQL language.

    -----------------------------

    Azure Resource Graph:
    Azure Resource Graph is an Azure service designed to extend Azure Resource Management by providing efficient and performant resource exploration with the ability to query at scale across a given set of subscriptions so that you can effectively govern your environment. I've leveraged the Azure Resource Graph service to query for your Azure Resources using the KQL language.
