Question

Difficulty: MediumAzure Arc

A retail chain operates point-of-sale physical Linux servers at multiple store locations. The IT team wants to manage and govern these servers using Azure Policy without migrating the workloads to the Azure cloud. Is it true or false that Azure Arc can project these on-premises physical servers as registered resources in Azure Resource Manager?

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
Azure Arc allows organizations to project on-premises physical servers, both Windows and Linux, as resources in Azure Resource Manager. This enables central management via the Azure Portal and the application of Azure governance tools like Azure Policy without relocating the server workloads.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the organization's requirements: they need to manage on-premises physical Linux servers using Azure governance tools (Azure Policy) without migrating the servers to the cloud.
Identify that the core requirement is managing non-Azure resources from a centralized Azure control plane.
This establishes the context for evaluating the capability of Azure Arc.
2
Evaluate the capabilities of Azure Arc regarding physical servers.
Confirm that Azure Arc enables the registration of physical servers (running Windows or Linux) outside of Azure as hybrid machines projected into Azure Resource Manager.
This directly determines if the statement is true or false.

Key Concept

Azure Arc extends Azure management and governance (such as Azure Policy and Azure Resource Manager) to physical and virtual servers located on-premises or in other clouds without migrating them.
