Azure Arc is a set of technologies that extends Azure management and enables Azure services
to run across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge. 
 Azure Arc
Customer use cases
Multi-cloud

Datacenter & hosted

Organize and govern At-scale Kubernetes Run data services

across environments
Get Kubernetes clusters and servers that
are sprawling across clouds, datacenters
and edge under control by centrally
organizing and governing from
a single place.
app management
Deploy and manage Kubernetes
applications at scale across environments
using DevOps techniques. Ensure
that applications are deployed
and configured consistently from
source control, at scale.
anywhere
Deploy and manage data services where
you need it for latency or compliance
reasons. Always use the most current
technology and seamlessly manage
and secure your data assets across
on-premises, clouds and edge.
Customer scenario – Organize & govern across environments
Overview
A large financial institution has sprawling server-based IT systems
deployed in corporate datacenters, hosters and cloud
In addition, new DevOps practices result in an unknown number of
servers that are connected to the corporate networks but are
running outside of identity and governance systems. Multi-cloud

The sprawl is overwhelming, and it is impossible to apply consistent

governance across the environment and meet compliance needs.

Business requirements
• Manage a mix of bare metal, Windows and Linux servers
• Visibility across locations, OS flavors and disparate systems
• Enable IT to apply at scale governance and security policies across
all servers
Datacenter
• Enable application owners to apply and audit to meet their own & hosted
requirements
• Measure and remediate compliance at scale and down to the
individual workload/server
Customer scenario - solution

Govern across your environment Multi-cloud

• Asset organization and inventory with a unified
view in the Azure Portal

• Universal governance anywhere through Azure

Policy Azure Arc

• Built-in server compliance rules

• Central compliance view across all servers

Azure Management
• Server owners can view and remediate to meet (Azure Resource Manager, Azure Policy,
their compliance Azure Portal, API, CLI…)

• MSPs can implement governance for their

customer’s environment

Customer scenario – At-scale Kubernetes App management
Overview
A retailer with 100s of stores would like to move all in-store
applications to containers running on a K8s clusters.
They are faced with the challenge of how to uniformly deploy,
configure and manage their containerized applications across
multiple locations.

Business requirements
• Bootstrap a new store to fully run with the applications and
configuration that this store requires
• Enable IT to apply and monitor at scale governance across
all stores
• Monitor the state of applications and configuration in all stores
• Integrate DevOps and Safe Deployment Practices for applications
running in stores
• Allow region/store IT to monitor and troubleshoot configuration
issues for their stores
Customer scenario - solution
Azure Management
Key benefits from Azure Arc (Azure Resource Manager, Azure Policy,
Azure Portal, API, CLI…)
• Asset organization and inventory with a unified view in
the Azure Portal across all locations

• At scale configuration and deployment based on

subscription, resource groups, and tags

• GitOps-based model for deploying configuration

as code to one or many clusters
• Application deployment and update at scale 
Azure Arc
• Source control based Safe deployment
procedures when rolling new applications and
configurations
• Developer tooling agnostic - Use the tools they
want.

Customer scenario – Run Azure data services anywhere
Overview
Private Cloud - Enterprise business systems challenges
An Energy company aims for an efficient and
fully automated operation with AI everywhere.
Lots of manual effort for CI/CD,
Customer operates various production sites, as especially for data tier
well as run utility transporting from extraction Variety of DB engines, with versions
to retail distribution. Massive data volume at the facing EOS, security siloes; no elastic scale
edge and need real-time insights.

Business requirements available in Azure
• Leverage existing OEM hardware and
Data Aggregation Model updates Operational databases
OpenShift K8s Analytics solutions
• Automation at scale for IT control systems e.g.
HA/DR, backup, CI/CD, DevOps
Edge – real-time processing challenges
• Latest innovation automatically deployed
