Hybrid management
Azure Arc
Azure management and governance projection for supported resources outside Azure.
Key points
- Azure Arc projects supported servers and other resources outside Azure into Azure management and governance.
- The connected resource remains outside Azure even though inventory, policy, and monitoring can be applied through Azure.
Best-known use cases
- Extend Azure inventory and governance to retained on-premises or multicloud servers.
What candidates often confuse it with
- Azure Arc adds an Azure management plane; Azure Migrate assesses workloads for a possible move into Azure.
Key takeaway
Choose Azure Arc when supported external resources must remain in place but need Azure governance.
