Azure Arc: From Onboarding to Application Deployment
What you’ll learn
Introduction to Azure Arc
Setting Up the Environment
Connecting Hybrid VM to Azure Arc, Kubernetes to Azure ARC
Managing Policies and Compliance with Azure Arc
Requirements
To get the most out of this course, students should have a basic understanding of Azure services, including how to navigate the Azure portal and use basic CLI commands. Familiarity with Kubernetes concepts such as pods, deployments, and services will be helpful, though not mandatory. Since we’ll be working with Linux-based virtual machines, a fundamental knowledge of Linux commands, SSH, and running scripts is recommended. Understanding basic networking concepts like IP addressing, DNS, and load balancers will also be beneficial. Students should have a computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux with essential tools installed, including Azure CLI, Minikube, Kubectl, and an SSH client like PuTTY or Windows Terminal. Additionally, an active Azure subscription (free-tier or paid) is required to create and manage resources. While prior experience with Azure Arc is not necessary, having some exposure to Kubernetes and cloud environments will make it easier to follow along.

This course is designed for Beginers, IT professionals, cloud engineers, and DevOps practitioners who want to learn how to connect Kubernetes clusters to Azure Arc. It’s ideal for those who are already familiar with Azure and Kubernetes but want to extend their knowledge by integrating hybrid and multi-cloud environments with Azure Arc. System administrators looking to simplify Kubernetes management and developers interested in deploying applications on Arc-enabled clusters will also benefit from this course. Whether you’re an aspiring Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), a cloud architect exploring hybrid cloud solutions, or an IT operations specialist managing infrastructure across different environments, this course will provide hands-on experience in connecting, monitoring, and managing Kubernetes clusters using Azure Arc.
