Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc

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.

Monitoring Azure Arc enabled SQL Managed Instances

In the previous section, we deployed an Azure Arc enabled SQL Managed Instance and created a database. In this section, we will be learning about monitoring aspects of Azure Arc enabled SQL Managed Instance. Please refer to Chapter 3, Azure Arc Enabled Kubernetes, to learn more about the fundamentals of monitoring Azure Arc enabled data services.

Similar to monitoring Azure Arc enabled PostgreSQL Hyperscale, Kibana and Grafana dashboards are provided out of the box to view logs and metrics respectively for Managed Instances as well.

Accessing Kibana and Grafana monitoring dashboards

Both the Kibana and Grafana dashboards are hosted on their own dedicated endpoint for the SQL Managed Instance service. In Azure Data Studio, you can navigate to your SQL Managed Instance and find endpoints on the Overview screen, as illustrated in the following screenshot:
