Announcing Azure Arc

Monday 18th November 2019

Microsoft have announced Azure Arc, which will allow Azure services to run on any infrastructure, with new hybrid capabilities. Azure Arc extends proven Azure management capabilities to Linux and Windows Servers, as well as Kubernetes Clusters on any infrastructure across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge. 

You can now consistently approach managing multiple environments using esteemed capabilities such as Azure Resource Manager, Microsoft Azure Cloud Shell, Azure portal, API, and Microsoft Azure Policy. You can build containerised apps, using the tools of your choice with Azure Arc. As well as this, Azure Arc makes it much easier to implement cloud security, across environments that have centralised role-based access control and security policies. 

With Azure Arc, you will really realise the benefits of cloud innovation. Benefits include always up-to-date data capabilities, incredibly fast deployment, and dynamic scalability on any infrastructure. You have the option to deploy Azure SQL Database and Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale, wherever you need it, on any Kubernetes cluster. 

The Azure Portal: 

  • Unified and consistent view of all your data services 
  • Ability to apply consistent policies, security and governance of data 

Azure Stack Edge:

  • Brings compute, storage and intelligence to any edge
  • Virtual Machine support
  • GPU based form factor 
  • High availability with multiple nodes
  • Multi-access edge compute 
  • Cloud capabilities in the harshest environments
