Describe Azure management and governance

A company runs servers in its own datacenter and in another public cloud and wants Azure Policy and inventory tracking applied to them from Azure. Which service makes this possible?

Azure MigrateAzure Migrate assesses and moves workloads into Azure rather than managing them where they are.
Azure MonitorAzure Monitor can collect data from other environments but does not bring them under Azure Policy.
Azure Site RecoverySite Recovery replicates workloads for disaster recovery, not governance.
Azure ArcCorrect · your answerCorrect.

Correct.

Concept

Governance tooling only reaches what the control plane knows about. Extending that plane to machines outside the platform is a distinct product, not a migration.

Why D

The source says Azure Arc lets operations teams apply consistent governance, policy, and inventory tracking across Azure, on-premises, and other public cloud environments from Azure.

Source

With Azure Arc, operations teams can apply consistent governance, policy, and inventory tracking across these environments from Azure, instead of managing each environment with disconnected tools.
