More and more enterprises are choosing hybrid and/or multi-cloud as their default strategy recently. However, this also brings the challenge of using different set of tools and technologies to view and manage these resources as well as lack of consistency across the providers. With Azure Arc extension for SQL Server, not only can you view and manage these resources consistently from Azure, you can also integrate with additional Azure services such as Azure AD, Azure Defender in a consistent way. All of this can be achieved without migrating your data anywhere.
