In this lesson, we'll explore the tools Azure provides for managing hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Specifically, we'll focus on Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and Azure Arc. These tools extend Azure's compliance and monitoring capabilities beyond its native environment to include on-premises and other cloud platforms.
Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is the core deployment and management service for Azure. It provides a unified layer to create, update, and delete resources within your Azure account. Whenever you interact with your Azure resources, ARM processes the request. It authenticates, authorizes, and then forwards the request to the appropriate Azure service.
Benefits of Using ARM
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as code allows you to manage your infrastructure through code. Using ARM templates or Bicep, you can automate the deployment and management of resources.
ARM Templates
ARM templates use JSON format to describe resources declaratively. They ensure resources are created correctly and can run scripts during deployment.
Benefits of ARM Templates:
Bicep
Bicep is a simpler language for defining Azure resources, designed to be more concise and readable than JSON.
Benefits of Bicep:
Azure Arc
Azure Arc extends ARM's capabilities to manage hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It centralizes management for both on-premises and multi-cloud resources.
Key Capabilities of Azure Arc:
Managing Diverse Environments with Azure Arc
Azure Arc allows you to manage various resources outside Azure, including servers, Kubernetes clusters, Azure data services, and SQL Server. This unified approach simplifies operations, enabling you to manage a diverse set of resources with familiar Azure tools.
