An overview of Azure Arc enabled servers
Azure Arc enabled servers extend the management capabilities of Azure Resource Manager tools to Windows and Linux servers running outside Azure (on-premises, AWS, GCP, or any other cloud platform). If you already are managing an Azure virtual machine (VM) in your environment, Arc enabled servers allow you to use the same tools, processes, and best practices to manage your non-Azure Windows and Linux servers as well.
You will use Azure Resource Manager, Azure Policy, RBAC, Log Analytics, Security Center, Azure Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Azure Automation, various other extensions such as Custom Script Extension, and desired state configuration to manage your on-premises servers. In this chapter, we'll be exploring some of these hybrid management capabilities with Azure.
