We’ve discussed Azure Arc before with people like Thomas Maurer, but this time we’ll focus on Azure Arc-Enabled Data Services. Azure Arc gives you a single platform to manage all of your data services no matter where they are. You can manage your Azure Arc enabled PostgreSQL Hyperscale and your Azure Arc enabled SQL Managed Instance with the Arc Data Controller. With Azure Arc makes it possible to run your Azure data services in your datacenter, at the edge, and in public clouds using Kubernetes and the infrastructure of your choice. You’re not just limited to Azure, you can enable your data from any public cloud you may feel like using. If you need a place to get started learning, there’s tons of great documentation and even some zero to hero training with Azure Arc Jumpstart.
We have a guest every week on the show who helps me learn about all of these Azure subjects. This time we dip into the Microsoft MVP community and get the assistance of Data Platform, Cloud, and Datacenter MVP, Rob Sewell. Rob has done a number of presentations on how Azure Arc can simplify connecting your data anywhere you can find online.
From Rob’s bio on his blog, SQLDBAWithABeard:
Rob was a SQL Server DBA. Now he just helps people with Powershell, Azure, Automation, and Data. He is a Cloud and Data Center MVP and a Data Platform MVP, co-leader of Data South West UK user group and PSConfEU organiser. One of the Admins for Data Saturdays. He is a proud supporter of the Data and Powershell communities. He has a fabulous beard!
