In this blog post, we’ll explore what Azure Arc is, its features and capabilities, and how it can help organisations manage and monitor their cloud environments more efficiently.

Whether you’re new to cloud computing or looking to streamline your multi-cloud operations, this post will provide you with the information you need to get started with Azure Arc.

What is Azure Arc?

Announced in 2019 Azure Arc is a management tool that allows you to extend Azure management features to resources not hosted within Azure.

Want to use Azure Policy to control settings on an on-premises server? Azure Arc can help you do that.

Are you using Azure Update Management to patch your Azure servers and want to use that on servers in another cloud providers environment? Azure Arc can help you do that.
