Azure Arc and Windows Server: The perfect pair for the hybrid cloud

Microsoft Azure Arc is a solution that enables resources to be centrally managed and monitored across multiple environments. Azure Arc extends the management capabilities of Azure to on-premises resources or other cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Resources integrated into Azure Arc are administered via the unified Azure Portal. Regardless of where they are physically or geographically located. Overall, Azure Arc provides consistent, centralized and simplified management of resources.

This guide describes how to deploy a Windows Server hosted outside the Azure Cloud step-by-step using the Azure Connected Machine Agent in Azure Arc.

Seamless Upgrade of Windows Server on Azure: Best Practices and Step-by-Step Guide

Microsoft Azure supports in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022. All data, server roles and settings are taken over in the process. For a successful in-place upgrade there are a few requirements.

This guide shows how to successfully perform a direct upgrade to a newer Windows Server version.

Deploy Azure Bastion and shareable links

With Azure Bastion and shareable links deployment, RDP and SSH connections to virtual machines in Azure can be made quickly and securely from anywhere. The virtual machines do not need a public IP address, agents or other software, and the time-consuming management of NSGs (network security groups) or VPNs is also eliminated.

Azure Bastion uses a web client based on HTML5 that uses TLS over port 443 and is a PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) service. Regular updated and managed by Microsoft, this Azure service provides an extra layer of protection against zero-day exploits.

Create an Azure snapshot of a virtual hard disk

An Azure Snapshot is an exact image of a disk at a specific point in time. This is a quicker way to back up the state of a hard disk than with an Azure backup.

Azure snapshots are best suited when, for example, operating system or software updates are to be tested. Additional virtual machines can be cloned from an Azure snapshot for this purpose. An existing virtual machine can also be restored to the original state of the snapshot if required.

This guide describes how to create an Azure snapshot, how to download a snapshot in VHD format, and how to clone a virtual machine from an Azure snapshot.

Protect Azure resources from accidental deletion with Azure Resource Locks

Azure Resource Locks can be used to easily and effectively protect Azure subscriptions, resource groups or individual resources from accidental deletion. The lock overrides any user permissions.

This guide shows how to enable Azure Resource Locks and which properties can be configured.
