    About this ebook

    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 will show you how you can manage environments across platforms without having to migrate workloads from on-premises or multi-cloud to Azure every time.
    Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc starts with an introduction to Azure Arc and hybrid cloud computing, covering use cases and various supported topologies. You'll learn to set up Windows and Linux servers as Arc-enabled machines and get to grips with deploying applications on Kubernetes clusters with Azure Arc and GitOps. The book then demonstrates how to onboard an on-premises SQL Server infrastructure as an Arc-enabled SQL Server and deploy and manage a hyperscale PostgreSQL infrastructure on-premises through Azure Arc. Along with deployment, the book also covers security, backup, migration, and data distribution aspects. Finally, it shows you how to deploy and manage Azure's data services on your own private cloud and explore multi-cloud solutions with Azure Arc.
    By the end of this book, you'll have a firm understanding of Azure Arc and how it interacts with various cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes and PaaS data services.

      To my parents, Pardeep and Kawaljeet S Sachdeva, and all the girls who dream big...

      – Daman Kaur

      Foreword

      Having had the pleasure of knowing and working with Daman in her role as an SME, I can attest to her intensity of her tech knowledge and specialization in a wide variety of Data and AI services Infrastructure, especially Cloud, Hybrid, Kubernetes, and Big Data solutions. In this book, Daman guides you through a comprehensive learning journey, diving into Azure Arc. The book covers topics ranging from initial setup to implementing best practices for various use cases.

      Since the launch of Azure Arc in mid-2020, it has continued to evolve rapidly through innovation to meet customer and market needs, and has reached the point at which we can manage and operate on-prem and poly cloud infrastructure and run various Azure services on that infrastructure as it would run on Azure Hyper cloud, all of which can be achieved through the familiar Azure control plane.

      During this evolution, Daman has focused on researching and mastering Health, Compliance, and Resiliency feature releases. She is an excellent learner and advocate who supports successful adoption of applications and their unified management across Azure Arc enabled Servers, SQL and Postgres, and Kubernetes.

      In her examples, Daman demonstrates the ease with which one can install, configure, and manage a wide range of hybrid and poly cloud infrastructure under Azure Arc to bring Azure services on those infrastructure with a single familiar Azure control plane. Daman also helps administrators and developers create and optimally manage the Azure Arc in an automated, secure, and compliant manner. She covers Monitoring, striking Consistency across on-prem, Edge and Cloud with full resiliency, backup, and migration all of which, supported by practical examples.

      Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc presents a comprehensive introduction to Azure Arc and hybrid cloud computing, including use cases and supported topologies. Topics include instruction on setting up Windows and Linux servers as Arc-enabled machines and allowing readers to get to grips with deploying applications on Kubernetes clusters with Azure Arc and GitOps. The book then demonstrates how to onboard an on-prem SQL Server infrastructure as an Arc-enabled SQL Server and deploy a hyperscale PostgreSQL infrastructure on-prem through Azure Arc. This book further includes a thorough overview of deployment and management of Azure's data services on your chosen Infrastructure.

      As an entertaining presenter, active community contributor, and passionate advocate, Daman imparts the knowledge and experience gained through this period of progressive innovation. With her words, step-by-step instructions, screenshots, source code snippets, examples, and links to additional sources of information, mplementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc facilitates a continual enhancement of skills that enables successful adoption and operation of Azure Arc environment.

      Become a hybrid poly cloud whiz with Azure Arc and host powerful and familiar Azure services on multiple infrastructure including on-prem. Harness the power of Azure Arc and its integration with cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes and PaaS data services.
