Microsoft Azure Arc Setup Microsoft

Microsoft Azure Arc Setup is a tool designed to simplify the configuration and management of Azure Arc, a program that streamlines governance and management across multicloud and on-premises environments. It enables organizations to project non-Azure resources into Azure Resource Manager, allowing for consistent management of virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and databases as if they were running in Azure.

Key Features:

• Consistent Management: Extend Azure services and management capabilities to resources hosted outside Azure, including SQL Managed Instance and Kubernetes clusters.
• Custom Locations: Create custom locations on top of Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters for deploying Azure services.
• Lifecycle Operations: Manage virtual machines across VMware vCenter, System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), and Azure Local environments through lifecycle operations.
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Empower developers and teams with self-service access to VM operations using Azure RBAC.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for organizations managing complex hybrid or multicloud environments, Azure Arc Setup helps improve consistency, security, and governance across resources. It enables businesses to adopt DevOps practices alongside traditional ITOps models, ensuring seamless management of on-premises, edge, and cloud-based workloads. By centralizing operations in Azure, it enhances operational efficiency and reduces the complexity of managing diverse environments.

Installable via winget, Azure Arc Setup is a versatile solution for streamlining resource management across hybrid infrastructures.
