INFO: “Azure Arc” from Microsoft’s Global Black Belt blog

There are many resources available to learn about Azure Arc, Microsoft’s service to enable on-premises customers to take advantage of Microsoft’s Azure-based infrastructure management/monitoring services for servers they still keep in their own datacenter.

A secret source of information for me however is the Microsoft’s Global Black Belt “core” blog, a blog that hosts content from Microsoft’s most senior field-facing technology experts about Core Infrastructure topics. Evangelists for their lane of technology, the “GBBs” are famous for sharing insider implementation tips & wisdom you really can’t find anywhere else, in particular about:

  • Azure Virtual Desktop
  • Azure Local
  • Azure VMWare Solution
  • Azure Files & File Sync

Azure Arc from the Global Black Belts
Azure Arc is no different. Global Black Belts Kevin Sullivan & formerly John Kelbley are the GBBs that have written many posts & videos about Azure Arc. And what’s even better is they’re knowledgeable about & write about Azure Government use cases! (<jaw drop> I know, right? 😁)

Here are the Azure Arc articles they’ve posted:
