Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc
Explore the new-generation hybrid cloud and learn how to build Azure Arc-enabled solutions
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 shows you how to manage environments across platforms without having to migrate workloads from on-premises or multi-cloud to Azure every time.
It starts with an introduction to Azure Arc and hybrid cloud computing, covering use cases and supported topologies. You'll learn to set up Windows and Linux servers as Arc-enabled machines, deploy applications on Kubernetes clusters with Azure Arc and GitOps, onboard an on-premises SQL Server as an Arc-enabled SQL Server, and deploy and manage hyperscale PostgreSQL on-premises through Azure Arc. It also covers security, backup, migration, and data distribution.
By the end, you'll have a firm understanding of Azure Arc and how it interacts with technologies such as Kubernetes and PaaS data services.
