Azure Arc Module

[scottharwell]

SUMMARY

Add support for Azure Arc services configuration, and, when the capability becomes available, support for automating against Arc connected VMs and devices as Ansible hosts

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

azure_rm_arc

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Azure Arc is becoming a pillar of Azure's hybrid cloud strategy, and Azure customers that automate with Ansible plan to configure both the Arc service and Arc connected machines. As capabilities like server connectivity over Arc come online, Ansible Automation Platform on Microsoft Azure can use Arc to help Azure customers configure and automate against those connected devices.

• Dynamic inventory for Arc managed hosts
• Arc service configuration and management
• VM connectivity over Arc for SSH when feature is released
