Azure Hybrid Cloud Documentation
Welcome to the comprehensive reference for Azure Hybrid Cloud solutions. This section provides in-depth technical documentation, architectural guidance, and best practices for extending Azure services to your on-premises environments and edge locations.
Key Azure Hybrid Cloud Services
Azure Arc
Azure Arc enables you to manage and govern your existing resources across on-premises, edge, and multi-cloud environments from a single pane of glass within Azure. Learn how to deploy applications, manage infrastructure, and apply Azure policies to servers, Kubernetes clusters, and data services running anywhere.
Azure Stack HCI
Azure Stack HCI is a hyperconverged infrastructure solution that brings the latest Azure innovations to your data center. It provides a highly resilient and scalable platform for running virtualized workloads with integrated cloud services like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Virtual Desktop.
Azure Stack Hub
Azure Stack Hub is an extension of Azure that allows you to deliver Azure services from your own data center. It supports disconnected environments and provides a consistent hybrid cloud experience for modern applications, including IoT and edge scenarios.
Azure Stack Edge
Azure Stack Edge is a portfolio of devices designed to bring intelligence and cloud-native capabilities to the edge. With powerful compute, storage, and networking, it's ideal for processing data locally and enabling AI scenarios at the edge.
Hybrid Identity and Networking
Securely connect and manage your on-premises identities and networks with Azure's hybrid capabilities. This includes integrating Active Directory with Azure AD, establishing secure VPN and ExpressRoute connections, and managing network policies across your hybrid landscape.
