It allows you to manage your on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge deployments in a unified manner. One of the key components of Azure Arc is the Azure Arc-enabled servers, which provide a seamless hybrid cloud experience. To further enhance the capabilities of Azure Arc-enabled servers, a free workbook has been released that provides visual insights into your Azure Arc-enabled servers.
