Advocating customer experience and innovation through cloud technologies on Microsoft Azure.
Last, but not least, let's dig a bit deeper into the hybrid topic. Before we had focused on Azure Arc overall and Azure Arc-enabled infrastructure, so now it would make sense to check out Azure Arc-enabled services, which is the second prong of Arc's approach to hybrid.
At the core, Azure Arc-enabled services are used to provision specific Azure services onto Azure Arc-enabled infrastructure (actually Kubernetes) hosted in your data center, or at any other location (like other hyper scalers).
Azure Arc innovates at lightning speed, so by the time you read this article the list might have expanded already, but at time of writing, Azure Arc-enabled services consisted of

So there are various use cases for each of them, in particular along the lines of "standardizing" on a certain pattern, like using PaaS databases and Azure App Service as application deployment environments, but now with the option to run those in Azure, in your data center, or at some other location.
So for application deployment, leveraging approaches like Azure Functions or Azure Logic Apps is no longer an obstacle, using a managed database while keeping certain datasets in your data center or using Azure Machine Learning to train models on large datasets that you either do not want or cannot move to the cloud.
And i guess that's it, for summer, right ? September is just around the corner. Hopefully, the weekly reading suggestions did help to get insights in some less-known areas of Microsoft Azure.
