Azure Local Accreditation 2025

In this module, you’ll learn how Azure Local helps you run virtual machines on-premises using hyperconverged infrastructure. You’ll also discover how you can use Azure services for centralized management, monitoring, and backup.
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Evaluate whether Azure Local meets the requirements for centralized management, monitoring, and backup across different deployment scenarios.
- Describe how the components of Azure Local function and interact, including virtualization, storage, networking, and Azure service integration.
In this module, you'll learn how Azure Local functions, how it integrates with hybrid environments, and how deployment and management work using standard tools.
By completing this module, you can:
- Learn how hyperconverged infrastructure in Azure Local consolidates compute, storage, and networking to streamline datacenter operations.
- Discover how Azure Arc, Azure Monitor, and other hybrid services support unified management of on-premises and cloud resources.
- Discover scalable deployment options and tools that automate infrastructure management.
In this module, you'll learn how Azure Local enables organizations to run virtual machines, containers, and cloud services on-premises while integrating with Azure for centralized management and security. You'll explore technical features such as hybrid cloud connectivity, resource organization, automated updates, container orchestration with AKS, and multi-layered security protections.
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Describe how Azure Local facilitates hybrid cloud integration and provides centralized management capabilities for on-premises infrastructure.
- Explain the functions of Azure Arc and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in extending Azure services to edge and multicloud environments.
- Identify the layered security mechanisms in Azure Local that support regulatory compliance and safeguard sensitive data.
