Azure Arc
For customers who want to simplify complex and distributed environments across on-premises, edge and multicloud, Azure Arc enables deployment of Azure services anywhere and extends Azure management to any infrastructure.
Control Plane
Control Plane is a cloud virtualization platform that enables devops teams to compose any combination of cloud infrastructure (bare metal, VMs, k8s, AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI) into one or more AI-native virtual clouds. Applications run at 99.999% availability, backed by an SLA, without added infrastructure complexity. Organizations use it to cut infrastructure costs by 30–50%, eliminate vendor lock-in, and securely deploy workloads, VMs, and AI agents across single-cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments from a single AI-enabled interface.
