Azure Arc Training Overview
The Application Management with Azure Arc training course teaches attendees how to use Azure Arc to integrate and manage resources across multiple clouds, on-premise, hybrid, and edge environments. Attendees learn how to view and manage resources with Azure Resource Manager, including virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and databases. Participants also use standard Azure services and management tools for all resources connected through Azure Arc. This course concludes with incorporating DevOps practices to support cloud-native development and deployment patterns.
