https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/

Azure Arc extends Azure Resource Manager capabilities to Linux and Windows servers, as well as Kubernetes clusters on any infrastructure across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge. With Azure Arc, customers can also run Azure data services anywhere, realizing the benefits of cloud innovation, including always up-to-date data capabilities, deployment in seconds (rather than hours), and dynamic scalability on any infrastructure. Azure Arc for servers is currently in public preview.

Arc Overview

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/servers/overview

Azure Arc for servers (preview) allows you to manage your Windows and Linux machines hosted outside of Azure on your corporate network or other cloud provider, similarly to how you manage native Azure virtual machines. When a hybrid machine is connected to Azure, it becomes a connected machine and is treated as a resource in Azure. Each connected machine has a Resource ID, is managed as part of a resource group inside a subscription, and benefits from standard Azure constructs such as Azure Policy and applying tags.

To deliver this experience with your hybrid machines hosted outside of Azure, the Azure Connected Machine agent needs to be installed on each machine that you plan on connecting to Azure. This agent does not deliver any other functionality, and it doesn't replace the Azure Log Analytics agent. The Log Analytics agent for Windows and Linux is required when you want to proactively monitor the OS and workloads running on the machine, manage it using Automation runbooks or solutions like Update Management, or use other Azure services like Azure Security Center.

Guides for Arc

  1. Connect machines to Arc through Azure Portal
  2. Connect machines optionally using a Service Principal for auto-scaling
  3. Connect machines using PowerShell DSC ( Desired State Configuration )
  4. Manage Agents

A Closer Look At Azure Arc – Microsoft’s Hybrid And Multi-Cloud Platform

Arc Agent on each machine or node

The Connected Machine agent sends a regular heartbeat message to the service every 5 minutes. If the service stops receiving these heartbeat messages from a machine, that machine is considered offline and the status will automatically be changed to Disconnected in the portal within 15 to 30 minutes. Upon receiving a subsequent heartbeat message from the Connected Machine agent, its status will automatically be changed to Connected.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/servers/agent-overview

Azure Arc delivers three capabilities - managing VMs running outside of Azure, registering and managing Kubernetes clusters deployed within and outside of Azure and running managed data services based on Azure SQL and PostgreSQL Hyperscale in Kubernetes clusters registered with Azure Arc.
