A logistics company runs container tracking databases on physical Linux servers in its local warehouses and on virtual machines in Amazon Web Services (AWS). The company wants to use the Azure portal to apply Azure Policy compliance guidelines and security baselines to these external servers without migrating any workloads to Azure virtual machines. Which service should the company use to project these external resources into Azure Resource Manager?

Answer

Azure Arc
Azure Arc allows organizations to project their non-Azure resources (such as on-premises physical Linux servers and AWS virtual machines) into Azure Resource Manager (ARM). Once registered with Azure Arc, these resources can be organized, monitored, and governed using native Azure tools like Azure Policy and resource groups, fulfilling the scenario's requirements without requiring any workload migration.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the core business requirement.
The company needs to govern, monitor, and apply compliance policies to physical on-premises servers and AWS virtual machines from the Azure portal.
Understanding the need for a single control plane across hybrid and multi-cloud environments is the first step in selecting the correct service.
2
Evaluate Azure services that extend Azure Resource Manager (ARM) outside Azure.
Azure Arc acts as a bridge, projecting non-Azure resources (such as servers and Kubernetes clusters) into ARM as native Azure resources.
This projection allows existing Azure management tools like Azure Policy and Azure Monitor to be applied directly to external resources.

Key Concept

Azure Arc extends Azure governance and management capabilities to on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments.
