This last year I was able to submit a session for the Festive Tech Calender. If you never have heard about the Festive Tech Calendar I suggest you head over to the web site and check out all the different on demand sessions that are available. The Festive Tech Calendar is a community supported and all sessions are created by members of the tech community.

Use Azure Site Recovery to save your bacon… Christmas ham… or maybe your job?

This demo-rich presentation will deep dive into Azure Site Recovery. We will discuss some real-world examples, how to deploy ASR, how to configure your environment to failover to Azure, how to failover to secondary regions using proximity placement groups, and most importantly how to fallback if needed.

I am teaching myself as I create this new blog, new technology like Hugo, Front Matter, and Github pages. This post will be updated as I go and become more comfortable with markdown language and everything else that having a static blog in Github requires.

Based on your additional requirements, here’s an updated summary that incorporates the Arc management aspects you want to cover:

Enhanced Summary for Part V: Arc Enable Everything

Expanded Focus Areas

Your Part V blog will now comprehensively cover three distinct Arc enablement scenarios:

1. Arc-Enabled Servers (Basic)

   • Individual Hyper-V host management
   • Basic monitoring and policy application
   • Limited cluster visibility

2. Arc-Enabled SCVMM (Advanced)

   • Full Hyper-V cluster management through Azure
   • Advanced features unlocked:
     • Unified VM lifecycle management
     • Azure RBAC for on-premises resources
     • Azure Policy at the cluster level
     • Advanced monitoring with VM insights
     • Azure Automation integration
     • Update Management coordination
     • Backup orchestration at scale
   • Cost implications vs. basic Arc servers
