WAC Azure Extension vs Local Installation - Feature Set checklist

Hi All

Is there any article that has a comprehensive side by side of the features that are available via the WAC Extension in Azure (Arc specifically) vs downloading and installing WAC locally

I was trying to follow Thomas Mauer's guide to deploy an AKS cluster locally. I wanted to achieve this from Azure, but the AKS blade/option is not present via this extension.

Is there a method to connect to the local WAC from Azure, similar to the way the extension is presented?

I am aware that I could deploy WAC locally, configure AKS on it, then join that on its own to Azure.

My use-case on this is that I have a bunch of bare-metal that has a lot of compute power that would make for excellent local clusters or dev environments.
