Episode 53 — Azure Arc and Hybrid Management
Azure Arc extends Azure management and governance beyond the cloud to on-premises and multi-cloud environments. This episode explains how Arc allows organizations to project external servers, Kubernetes clusters, and databases into Azure’s control plane, giving them a single, unified management experience. Learners explore how Arc brings features like Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, and tagging to resources running outside Azure datacenters. This capability reflects Microsoft’s strategy of hybrid cloud integration—a recurring topic in the AZ-900 exam that demonstrates how Azure supports both cloud-native and legacy systems.
The episode also discusses practical uses of Azure Arc. A company running workloads in both its own datacenter and another provider’s cloud can apply consistent security, compliance, and automation policies through Arc. Learners discover how this reduces administrative overhead, ensures governance consistency, and simplifies reporting. The discussion reinforces that hybrid management is not a transitional step but a long-term model for many enterprises. By mastering the fundamentals of Azure Arc, candidates develop an understanding of how Azure adapts to complex, distributed environments.
