Azure Stack HCI solution overview
Azure Stack HCI is designed for hosting virtualized Linux and Windows workloads on validated partner hardware. Designed for the hybrid environment (on-premises and cloud), Azure Stack HCI combined with Azure hybrid services provides capabilities such as disaster recovery and backup options for your VMs, as well as cloud-based monitoring. You also get a single pane of glass for all your deployments and the ability to manage the cluster with tools such as Windows Admin Center, System Center, and PowerShell. In addition, AKS on Azure Stack HCI is available. It is an on-premises implementation of the AKS orchestrator—see https://docs.microsoft.com/azure-stack/aks-hci/overview.
