Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 435 discussion

The answer is YYY Yes, Azure Arc can manage physical servers that run Linux. It extends Azure management capabilities to on-premises and multi-cloud environments, allowing you to manage servers, whether they are in Azure or outside of Azure. Yes, Azure Arc can manage Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters at scale. It allows you to extend Azure management to AKS clusters that are not running in Azure, providing centralized management for Kubernetes clusters across different environments. Yes, Azure Arc can manage a third-party database solution hosted outside of Azure. It allows you to bring databases running on physical servers or in other cloud environments under Azure management using Azure Arc.

Answer: YYY Azure Arc supports servers running anywhere—on premises and in any cloud. These include Windows and Linux, physical and virtual, domain-joined, and nondomain-joined servers. Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes provides a centralized, consistent control plane to manage policy, governance, and security across Kubernetes clusters in different environments. Azure Arc agents are deployed on Kubernetes clusters when you connect them to Azure Arc.

YYY Azure Arc enables the management of databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server deployed on-premises or in other clouds (like AWS or Google Cloud).

The answer is YYY. (directly from MS Learn) Currently, Azure Arc allows you to manage the following resource types hosted outside of Azure: Servers: Manage Windows and Linux physical servers and virtual machines hosted outside of Azure. Kubernetes clusters: Attach and configure Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, with multiple supported distributions. Azure data services: Run Azure data services on-premises, at the edge, and in public clouds using Kubernetes and the infrastructure of your choice. SQL Managed Instance and PostgreSQL (preview) services are currently available. SQL Server: Extend Azure services to SQL Server instances hosted outside of Azure. Virtual machines: Provision, resize, delete and manage virtual machines based on VMware vSphere or Azure Stack HCI and enable VM self-service through role-based access.

YYN First Party DBs not 3rd Party like Oracle

All is yes

The answer is YYY, check out the Azure Arc overview: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/overview

But there is a statement : Manage virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and databases as if they are running in Azure. As stays in this doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/overview#:~:text=Manage%20virtual%20machines%2C%20Kubernetes%20clusters%2C%20and%20databases%20as%20if%20they%20are%20running%20in%20Azure. so maybe there is 3x Y

Kind of confused about this one, what does it mean when it says third party? Is the third party bit referring to the SQL software being used or the cloud provider hosting? The documentation says it supports database management, but it seems this is only supporting two specific types of "data services" (SQL managed instance and PostgreSQL), so I would probably go with YYN to take the answer with the least assumption. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/data/overview

YYN is correct I think.

Y. Y .Y Servers: Manage Windows and Linux physical servers and virtual machines hosted outside of Azure. Kubernetes clusters: Attach and configure Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, with multiple supported distributions. Azure data services: Run Azure data services on-premises, at the edge, and in public clouds using Kubernetes and the infrastructure of your choice. SQL Managed Instance and PostgreSQL (preview) services are currently available. SQL Server: Extend Azure services to SQL Server instances hosted outside of Azure.

Y.Y.Y is correct

NNY is correct "Currently, Azure Arc allows you to manage the following resource types hosted outside of Azure: Servers: Manage Windows and Linux physical servers and virtual machines hosted outside of Azure. Kubernetes clusters: Attach and configure Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, with multiple supported distributions. SQL Server: Extend Azure services to SQL Server instances hosted outside of Azure." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-arc/overview
