Azure Arc enables you to manage your servers, virtual machines (VMs), and Kubernetes clusters hosted outside of Azure
Azure Arc enables you to manage your servers, virtual machines (VMs), and Kubernetes clusters hosted outside of Azure. Azure Arc is a tool that lets you manage your servers, VMs, and Kubernetes clusters hosted outside of Azure.
Azure Arc performs the following tasks:
Centralizes configuration management for your on-premises infrastructure with Azure Cloud Services: Manages all aspects of identity management including access control lists (ACLs), permission sets, roles and policies. It also provides centralized monitoring with alarms that notify administrators when something has changed in the environment.
Provides easy access to view information about your on-premises resources from anywhere using web browsers or mobile devices: Viewing health reports for each resource allows users to focus on managing their individual resources instead of having everything spread across multiple toolsets as they were before.* Supports custom workflows for automated deployments via PowerShell scripts; supports integration with third party platforms such as Chef Automate Jenkins Bamboo Puppet Ansible Maven GIT
Use policy to control those resources so that only approved configurations are allowed.
Azure Arc is a policy-based management service. It allows you to manage your servers, virtual machines (VMs), and Kubernetes clusters hosted outside of Azure.
Azure Arc uses policy to control those resources so that only approved configurations are allowed.
Apply management features and control policies for those resources from the Azure portal
The Azure portal is the place to manage your resources. You can use it to:
Apply management features and control policies for those resources from the Azure portal.
Control access to resources managed by Azure Arc using the same controls you use for other types of Microsoft cloud services.
All features listed in this article are available for servers, VMs, and Kubernetes clusters in Azure, as well as for servers managed by using Azure Arc.

You can apply management features and control policies for those resources from the Azure portal.
The following sections describe some key features of Azure Arc:
Deploying applications to virtual machines (VMs) with a minimum of configuration steps;
Managing containers across multiple hosts or clusters; and
Know how Azure Arc works
Azure Arc is a service that enables you to manage your servers, virtual machines (VMs), and Kubernetes clusters hosted outside of Azure. You can use policy to control those resources so that only approved configurations are allowed.
Azure Arc provides the following capabilities:
Manage your own cloud infrastructure—Azure Arc allows you to create and manage new VMs or add or remove existing VMs from an existing cluster by using the same tooling as in-house provisioning.
Easily manage multiple clouds—Azure Arc allows customers to easily consolidate their workloads across multiple clouds while minimizing costs through automated resource management based on policies defined by IT staff.
Conclusion
Before you can start using Azure Arc, make sure you have the basic skills and knowledge to manage your Azure resources. For example, if you haven’t worked with virtual machines before or don’t know how to create a VM in Azure, then this article might not be for you.
Azure Arc is a service offered by Microsoft Azure that enables the management of resources across multiple environments, including on-premises, edge, and multi-cloud.
The main goal of Azure Arc is to simplify the management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments by providing a centralized location to manage and govern resources across different infrastructures.
With Azure Arc, a wide range of resources can be managed, including virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and more.
Azure Arc offers several benefits, including the ability to centralize resource management, use consistent policies across multiple environments, and gain a unified view of all resources.
Azure Arc enables the management of Kubernetes clusters by allowing the registration of Kubernetes clusters from different environments, applying configuration and security policies, and deploying applications to the registered clusters.
Azure Arc enables the management of resources across multiple environments, while Azure Stack is a solution that enables the deployment of Azure services on-premises.
The Azure Arc-enabled servers feature allows the management of servers running outside of Azure by registering them with Azure Arc, which enables consistent policy enforcement and centralized management.
The Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes feature allows the management of Kubernetes clusters running outside of Azure by registering them with Azure Arc, which enables consistent policy enforcement and centralized management.
Yes, Azure Arc can be used to manage resources in other cloud environments, as well as on-premises and edge environments.
Azure Arc enables the deployment of Azure Policy to non-Azure resources by registering those resources with Azure Arc, which allows the application of Azure Policy to those resources in a consistent manner.
The Azure Arc enabled data services feature allows customers to deploy Azure data services such as Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure PostgreSQL Hyperscale on any infrastructure, including on-premises and multi-cloud.
Azure Arc provides a centralized location for applying security policies and configurations to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, which helps ensure consistent and secure resource management.
Azure Arc improves resource governance and visibility by providing a unified view of all resources across multiple environments, enabling consistent policy enforcement, and facilitating resource tagging and organization.
The Azure Arc-enabled machine learning feature enables customers to deploy Azure Machine Learning on-premises and on any cloud, and operate it centrally with Azure Arc.
Customers can get started with using Azure Arc by creating an Azure Arc enabled server or Kubernetes cluster, registering an existing server or cluster, or deploying Azure data services on any infrastructure.
