As Mary Jo Foley reported this week, hybrid cloud drew a cluster of announcements at Microsoft Ignite last week. Among them were announcements for general availability of Azure Arc enabled server that enables connecting any server to Azure where it can be managed on a single pane of glass , and the public preview of Azure Arc enabled data services, which include a choice of SQL Server Managed Instance and PostgreSQL Hyperscale.
A year after Azure Arc’s announcement, over a thousand preview customers have given the software-defined hybrid platform the stress test and the core platform is now entering general release.
