Question

Difficulty: EasyAzure Arc

A healthcare provider has virtual machines and Kubernetes clusters hosted on-premises and in a third-party public cloud. The provider wants to use Azure Arc to simplify management. Which of the following capabilities are provided by Azure Arc for these external resources? (Select TWO.)

  1. Enforcing compliance guidelines across on-premises and third-party cloud servers using Azure PolicyAnswer
  2. Consolidating logging and performance tracking for non-Azure virtual machines within Azure MonitorAnswer
  3. C
    Automatically migrating all external virtual machines and databases into Azure physical data centers
  4. D
    Restricting governance and resource monitoring services to only virtual machines natively hosted in Azure

Answer

The correct options are: enforcing compliance guidelines across on-premises and third-party cloud servers using Azure Policy, and consolidating logging and performance tracking for non-Azure virtual machines within Azure Monitor.
Azure Arc acts as a bridge that projects resources outside of Azure into Azure Resource Manager. This enables administrators to apply Azure governance tools, such as Azure Policy, and monitoring tools, such as Azure Monitor, directly to on-premises and third-party cloud resources.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary purpose of Azure Arc.
Azure Arc is designed to extend the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) control plane to resources located outside of Azure (on-premises, edge, and multi-cloud).
This allows administrators to manage external servers, Kubernetes clusters, and databases as if they were running inside Azure.
2
Determine which management capabilities are extended by Azure Arc to external resources.
Capabilities like Azure Policy configuration auditing and Azure Monitor logging are extended, while native Azure migration or restricting management only to Azure-native resources are incorrect.
This confirms the valid options showing governance (Azure Policy) and monitoring (Azure Monitor) capabilities.

Key Concept

Azure Arc extends Azure management, governance, and monitoring capabilities to resources hosted on-premises, at the edge, or in multi-cloud environments.
