Microsoft Azure Arc Proof of Concept

OVERVIEW

Managing resources across on-premises, multi-cloud, and geographically dispersed environments can be challenging. A centralized solution that enables policy enforcement, governance, and monitoring across all environments is essential. Daymark’s Proof of Concept (POC) demonstrates how Azure Arc can centralize control, offering a unified management experience and extending Azure’s capabilities to any infrastructure.

HIGHLIGHTS

• • Streamline Your Operations Across Platforms: Manage on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge resources seamlessly from one unified platform, ensuring consistent and efficient operations for your business.
• • Strengthen Security and Compliance: Extend Azure's security and compliance to all environments, reducing risk and meeting regulatory standards.
• • Stay Agile in a Changing Landscape: Quickly adapt to evolving business demands with simplified IT operations and minimized complexity.
• • Leverage Clear Visibility: Gain comprehensive insights into all resources for better decision-making and proactive management.

AGENDA

Our POC provides an opportunity to test Azure Arc’s ability to manage resources consistently across on-premises and cloud environments from a single control plane.

We’ll provide an overview of Azure Arc, discuss planning and requirements, and conduct group work to deploy Azure Arc in the customer environment. Daymark consultants will:

• Review Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) needs.
• Define policy governance requirements.
• Configure advanced networking and resource tagging.
• Identify servers to include in the POC.
• Create custom RBAC roles.
• Implement an Azure Policy for governance.
• Enable connectivity for Azure Arc.
• Set up logging via Azure Monitor.

We’ll review Azure Arc capabilities, admin tasks, Arc settings, setup monitoring, onboarding procedure, and dashboards. Daymark consultants will:

• Provide an overview of Azure Arc features and functionality.
• Complete server onboarding to Azure Arc.
• Configure RBAC roles for access control.
• Set and apply Azure policies for governance.
• Configure networking components for Azure Arc.
• Enable Azure Monitor logging.
