Session Abstract

As organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies, managing and securing infrastructure across diverse environments becomes more complex. This session explores how Azure Arc extends Azure’s powerful management tools—such as Azure Policy, Update Management, and Extended Security Updates (ESU)—to on-premises, AWS, Google Cloud, and other multi-cloud environments. We’ll cover advanced techniques for implementing unified governance, centralized update management, and securing legacy systems using Azure Arc.
