Azure Arc

Azure service that projects on-premises, edge and multicloud servers, Kubernetes clusters and databases into Azure Resource Manager.

Definition

Azure Arc extends Azure management and governance to resources running outside Azure. Arc-enabled servers, Kubernetes clusters and SQL Server instances appear as Azure resources, so you can apply Azure Policy, RBAC, tags, Microsoft Defender for Cloud and monitoring consistently across environments.

Example

An administrator applies an Azure Policy guest configuration baseline to Linux servers running in AWS via Azure Arc.

Exam tip

When a question asks how to manage non-Azure servers with Azure Policy or tags, the answer is Azure Arc.
