Azure Arc overview – Azure Arc | Microsoft Learn


“I always compare Azure Arc to the Lord of the Rings, seeing it as the one ring to rule them all. If you’re seeking a solution to manage all your Windows and Linux servers, Azure Arc could be the answer. It provides a unified management experience across diverse environments, whether on-premises, in Azure, or other clouds.


 


Using Azure Arc, I’ve also gained valuable insights into other technologies, such as Kubernetes (AKS) and AWS, through its Multi-Cloud Connector. This feature enhances your ability to manage and govern resources across multiple cloud platforms seamlessly.


 


In essence, if you’re looking for a comprehensive solution to manage your hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure efficiently, Azure Arc offers the tools and capabilities you need.”

Networking architecture design – Azure Architecture Center | Microsoft Learn


Networking is core to Azure, and core to architecting excellent solutions. While the architecture center offers a range of guidance from foundational to niche, the networking section should be common to nearly all deployments. It is unique in its importance to Azure design.

Design review checklist for Reliability – Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework | Microsoft Learn


“Hyperscaler Cloud offerings, like Microsoft Azure, offer businesses worldwide to compete on a global stage, but with the ability to scale up business offerings comes more complexity and additional risk of outages. One of the key pillars (for good reason) of the Azure Well-Architected Framework is Resiliency, and Microsoft Learn offers a great way of checking off, using a data-validated approach, of not only your Resiliency at a Technical level, but Business as well, using resources, such as the Design review checklist for Reliability.”
