Overview

Relying on an effective multicloud, multiedge hybrid approach is more important than ever. Azure focuses on supporting the hybrid needs of customers with hybrid integration across Azure products.

In Microsoft’s cloud platforms, Azure Arc is the extension. Azure Arc extends the same controls and processes you use to govern your Azure cloud to other public and private clouds and the edge. It’s these cloud controls that enable a unified operations approach to consistent governance and operations management processes across heterogeneous on-premises, multicloud, and edge environments.

During this course you will explore the management of multiple cloud and on-premises solutions with Azure Arc.

Audience
Profile

This course is aimed at IT professionals and system administrators that manage on traditional on premises environments and want to leverage hybrid management tools including Azure Arc.

Course
Outline

Module 1 – Introduction to Azure Arc

In this module, you’ll be able to describe Azure Arc enabled servers. You’ll also be able to describe Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes. In this module, you will:

  • Describe Azure Arc enabled servers.
  • Understand Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes.


Module 2 – Introduction to Azure Arc enabled servers

This module introduces you to Azure Arc enabled servers and describes its characteristics, capabilities, and use cases. In this module, you will:

  • What are the characteristics of Azure Arc enabled servers?
  • What are the core capabilities of Azure Arc enabled servers?
  • How can you simplify management and maintenance of Azure Arc enabled servers?


Module 3 – Plan and deploy Azure Arc-enabled servers at scale

Azure Arc promises to bridge the gap between on-premises and cloud environments. Azure Arc-enabled servers extends the consistent security, observability, and governance of the Azure platform to non-Azure machines. In this module, you will learn about planning and securely deploying Azure Arc-enabled servers at scale. In this module, you will:
