Azure Arc-enabled data services provide powerful capabilities to deploy and manage local, on-premises, and hybrid cloud data resources using the same centralized management and tooling you get from the Azure cloud.

“Arc is the over-arching umbrella. The long story short about Azure Arc is that it extends ARM to wherever you have stuff.”
