True hybrid cloud experience: it does a great job of extending Azure into on-premises environments. You can run VMs, containers and even Kubernetes locally while still managing everything through the Azure portal and tools like Azure Arc. Unified Management & Visibility: having a single control plane for both cloud and on-premises infrastructure is a big win. Monitoring, updates, security policies and governance are all handled through familiar Azure interfaces, which simplifies operations significantly. The fact that is supports mixed workloads: running traditional virtual machines alongside modern containerized apps on the same infrastructure is very practical. It helps bridge legacy systems with newer cloud-native architectures.

The management part for administrators is completely missing at the same level as other vendors. The way out part is also difficult to integrate and support.
