Arc, Arc and Arc: De-mystifying Azure Arc for Data
summary
Demonstrates that Azure Arc installs an agent on Windows or Linux to deliver Arc-enabled SQL Server features (inventory, Defender alerts, log analytics) and that Arc can deploy SQL as containers on any CNCF-compliant Kubernetes via an Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes controller and the Microsoft Container Registry. Shows managed instance and Postgres Hyperscale running in pods, automated patching/backups for Arc-managed instances, and a best-practices scan that reports 19 of 58 checks failed on a demo server. Licensing, hourly service charges, and on‑prem backup responsibility remain in place.
