Secure, develop, and operate infrastructure, apps, and Azure services anywhere
What is Azure Arc
Azure Arc is a bridge that extends the Azure platform to help you build applications and services with the flexibility to run across datacenters, at the edge, and in multicloud environments. Develop cloud-native applications with a consistent development, operations, and security model. Azure Arc runs on both new and existing hardware, virtualization and Kubernetes platforms, IoT devices, and integrated systems. Do more with less by leveraging your existing investments to modernize with cloud-native solutions.
Microsoft Azure Arc is a new offering from Microsoft that allows organizations to manage and secure their resources across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments using a single control plane. This means that organizations can use the same tools and processes to manage their resources regardless of where they are running.
One of the key benefits of Azure Arc is its ability to manage resources across different environments. This means that organizations can use Azure Arc to manage their on-premises servers, their resources running in other public clouds, and even their resources running at the edge. This allows them to easily move resources between environments, depending on their specific needs.
Another important feature of Azure Arc is its integration with Azure services. This allows organizations to easily connect their resources to the public cloud, giving them access to a wide range of services, including Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, Azure Resource Manager, and more. This allows them to easily manage and protect their resources, regardless of where they are running.
- Azure Arc also provides organizations with a simple and consistent management experience across different environments. This allows them to easily deploy and manage their resources, whether they are running on-premises, in another public cloud, or at the edge.
- In addition, Azure Arc provides organizations with a high level of security, as it is built on the same security foundation as Azure. This includes features such as Azure Active Directory integration, multi-factor authentication, and Azure Security Center.
- Another benefit of Azure Arc is its ability to manage Kubernetes clusters across different environments. This means that organizations can use Azure Arc to manage their Kubernetes clusters running on-premises, in other public clouds, and even at the edge. This allows them to easily move their Kubernetes workloads between environments, depending on their specific needs.
- Azure Arc can also enable IT and operation teams to extend Azure management to resources like servers, Kubernetes clusters, and application across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge. it can also enable DevOps teams to use familiar Azure development and management tools to build and operate applications across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge.
Overall, Microsoft Azure Arc is a powerful solution that allows organizations to manage and secure their resources across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments using a single control plane. It provides organizations with the flexibility to move resources between environments and the ability to manage and protect resources using Azure services. With its ability to manage resources across different environments, integration with Azure services, and simple and consistent management experience, Azure Arc is a great choice for organizations looking to manage their resources in a hybrid and multi-cloud environment.
