Microsoft Azure Azure Arc hybrid cloud

Azure Arc manages on-premises servers from the same console as Azure cloud resources, extending Azure's security and compliance policy to on-premises systems rather than treating them as a separate, unmanaged environment.

This supports a gradual move to the cloud rather than a forced one — useful for businesses that need to keep some infrastructure on-premises for now but still want one consistent management and compliance view.
