Azure Arc - Simply Explained

Azure Arc extends Azure's management, security, and governance capabilities beyond the Azure cloud, allowing you to manage servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and other resources running on-premises, at the edge, or in other cloud providers from a single control plane. Instead of moving workloads into Azure, Azure Arc brings Azure services to wherever your infrastructure already exists. In this episode of Microsoft Knowledge Nuggets, we explain Azure Arc in plain English and show why it's a key technology for hybrid and multicloud environments. You'll learn how Azure Arc works, what it can manage, and why organizations use it to create a consistent operational model across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and on-premises datacenters. We cover key concepts including Arc-enabled servers, Kubernetes, Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code
