Governing Hybrid and Multicloud Servers with Azure Arc

Managing servers across on-premises environments and multiple cloud platforms can lead to fragmented security and inconsistent governance. This text-only course shows you how to unify your hybrid infrastructure by bringing external servers under a single control plane. You will gain the practical skills to register, monitor, and secure non-Azure virtual machines and physical servers, applying consistent policies and automated management practices. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core architecture and setup of Azure Arc-enabled servers. 2. Connect and register external Windows and Linux machines to the control plane. 3. Apply automated governance and compliance standards using Azure Policy. 4. Implement security baselines aligned with modern zero-trust principles. 5. Automate routine server maintenance and configuration with Azure Automanage. 6. Monitor server health and performance metrics across diverse environments. You will start with foundational cloud governance concepts, progress through installing the hybrid machine agent, and finish by configuring enterprise-grade automation and policy enforcement. This course is designed for beginner systems administrators, IT professionals, and cloud engineers looking to centralize their hybrid server management without prior hybrid-cloud experience.
