Most Asked Questions

Azure Arc is a centralized ecosystem acting as the bridge between an enterprise's Azure and non-Azure assets on other cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP or on premise allowing enterprises to operate all landscapes under a single control. An Arc agent is installed across all the resources to be connected and the same can be visible, monitored, governed, configured, secured, and operated from a single Azure Resource Manager (ARM) interface as an extended ecosystem powered by Microsoft Azure. Azure-native toolsets can be deployed and containerized clusters, databases provisioned across all connected resources/infrastructure as if one single ecosystem.

Yes you can use Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes to govern, configure, and provision clusters and Kubernetes-run applications across all connected resources to the Azure Arc ecosystem. Run your containerized assets, secure and govern containerized workloads, and drive innovations across all cloud and non-cloud resources from one platform.

Azure Arc acts as one governing plane for all cloud, non-cloud assets including Azure and other hyperscale public cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP. An agent installed into the on-prem and other cloud resources ensures all connected assets are visible from the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) interface and governed, operated end-to-end without any distinction from existing Azure systems and workloads. All external/non-Azure resources when connected via the Azure Arc bridge, gain an Azure resource ID and are operated as if they are on Azure.

The ideal, risk-proof approach to onboard Azure Arc and ensure its seamless functioning across all types of assets is to partner with a certified Azure MSP like Cloud4C with the necessary specializations and acumen to implement Azure platforms and services. Executing with a partner helps correctly map all to-be-connected resources, check for gaps and dependencies, analyze versions and ensure zero disruption migrations, modernizations, and operations.

Yes, Azure Arc can be connected to VMs running on servers on-premise or across other cloud platforms, running on Windows or Linux OS. The integration can occur at functional, storage, networking or even hypervisor level (VMware, AVS, Hyper-V). Once connected, Azure Arc delivers accurate insights and performance monitoring around CPU utilization, network and storage usage, disk usage, capacity management and cost optimizations.
