Learning Azure with Ofek – Azure Arc

 is a solution that simplifies hybrid environment management and it’s free. Azure Arc allows you to manage and govern on-premises resources and resources from other clouds like AWS and GCP directly within your Azure environment. You can connect physical servers, virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and SQL Servers, and manage them as if they were native Azure resources. Azure Arc extends Azure capabilities to your on-premises and multi-cloud environments. It enables you to deploy services like Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, and Azure Monitor easily across environments. You can also centrally manage SQL Server with performance assessments, cloud backups, Azure authentication, and pay-as-you-go licensing. The big advantage is unified management of policies, security, updates, and monitoring from the same Azure interface. From my experience, Azure Arc is ideal for organizations operating in hybrid environments or those still in transition to the cloud. Feel free to reach out for any questions.
