Once connected, you can do certain things with the external Kubernetes cluster, like for example:</p> <ul> <li>Add it to given Resource Groups</li> <li>Categorize it using Tags</li> <li>Access it via Azure Resource Graph</li> <li>Apply Azure Policies to it</li> <li>Protect with Azure Security Center</li> <li>Collect metrics using Azure Monitor</li> <li>Define cluster and application configuration with GitOps</li> </ul> <p>This post explains how to connect a Kubernetes cluster running in Digital Ocean to your Azure Subscription by leveraging Azure Arc. Once connected, we will add some tags to the external cluster and query it using Azure Resource Graph to verify the connection.</p>
