Recommendations to others considering Azure Arc:
With Azure Arc, Microsoft has expanded the support for ARM to resources running outside of Azure. This means, a physical server running in a data center looks like a compute resource in the eyes of the Fabric Controller. Even VMs running on top of VMware vSphere, Amazon EC2, and Google Compute Engine can be registered with the Azure Resource Manager. Any Windows or Linux server - even those running behind a firewall and proxy - can be registered with ARM. The external VMs run a similar software like the agent that runs inside Azure VMs. Apart from VMs, Azure ARC can also register Kubernetes clusters. Once onboard, any external Kubernetes cluster can be managed like Azure’s own Kubernetes service, AKS. That means a Pivotal Kubernetes Service cluster running on vSphere within the datacenter and mainstream managed Kubernetes services like Amazon EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine, and IBM Kubernetes Service can be registered with Azure Arc.
