Azure ARC

Benefits of Azure Arc Enabled Kubernetes 

Azure Arc capabilities enable you to add various management and application solutions like Azure Monitor and Azure Arc-enabled data services to Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters and manage it using a single plane of glass from Azure i.e. the Azure Portal, CLI, SDKs. This blog post gives an overview of Azure Arc Enabled Kubernetes capability that is generally available today!

  • Azure Arc is a technology which comprises of Azure security and cloud services for creating hybrid and multi cloud environments. 
  • Mainly Azure Arc helps in securing the applications built by the engineers and helps in deploying the applications on Kubernetes, which can be the common platform for the users to access and run the applications. 
  • Here we can mainly secure the data and apply new technologies like Machine Learning and Deep Learning where the data can be understood easily. 
  • When Azure Arc combined with Kubernetes mainly helps users to scale up and scale down the applications which can be cost effective as well as maintenance friendly. 

Usage of this technology has many advantages such as: 

  • • Centrally managed login 

  • • Provides virtual environments  

  • • The security policies are enabled 

  • • Provides cloud facilities to the applications 

  • • Saves time as the facilities are provided under single application and also it is the best architecture for applications. 

  • • Reduces admin time  

  • • The server is also secured here 

  • • Same server is being used across all environments 

  • • It works for both Linux as well as Windows 

  • • It works across multiple domains at the same time. 


Access Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster from anywhere using Cluster Connect


The Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster connect feature provides connectivity to the apiserver of the cluster without requiring any inbound port to be enabled on the firewall. A reverse proxy agent running on the cluster can securely start a session with the Azure Arc service in an outbound manner.

Cluster connect allows developers to access their clusters from anywhere for interactive development and debugging. It also lets cluster users and administrators access or manage their clusters from anywhere. You can even use hosted agents/runners of Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or any other hosted CI/CD service to deploy applications to on-prem clusters, without requiring self-hosted agents.
