Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc

By: Amit Malik, Daman Kaur

Overview of this book

With all the options available for deploying infrastructure on multi-cloud platforms and on-premises comes the complexity of managing it, which is adeptly handled by Azure Arc. This book will show you how you can manage environments across platforms without having to migrate workloads from on-premises or multi-cloud to Azure every time. Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc starts with an introduction to Azure Arc and hybrid cloud computing, covering use cases and various supported topologies. You'll learn to set up Windows and Linux servers as Arc-enabled machines and get to grips with deploying applications on Kubernetes clusters with Azure Arc and GitOps. The book then demonstrates how to onboard an on-premises SQL Server infrastructure as an Arc-enabled SQL Server and deploy and manage a hyperscale PostgreSQL infrastructure on-premises through Azure Arc. Along with deployment, the book also covers security, backup, migration, and data distribution aspects. Finally, it shows you how to deploy and manage Azure's data services on your own private cloud and explore multi-cloud solutions with Azure Arc. By the end of this book, you'll have a firm understanding of Azure Arc and how it interacts with various cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes and PaaS data services.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about Azure's multi-cloud solutions and management capabilities. We started by learning the fact that as long as you have a supported server and Kubernetes infrastructure, you can use Azure Arc to manage your multi-cloud environments. Later, we learned about several other Azure services and their multi-cloud capabilities.

This concludes this chapter as well as the book. We hope you have enjoyed reading this book. We hope it was useful to you in learning about hybrid cloud management with Azure Arc. You should be able to plan and implement a centralized governance strategy for servers in your hybrid and multi-cloud environments. You should also be able to run Azure's PaaS data services on your hardware, providing best-in-class database services for your engineering teams.

Azure Arc is an ever-involving service: you can expect new features to be added to existing offerings and brand new services to be launched regularly. It is recommended...
