Monitoring and Process Automation via the Arc Control Plane

We touched on process automation in the Kubernetes chapter when discussing GitOps. As we take a closer look at what can be achieved, it will become apparent that the surface area to which it can be applied is much broader than operations and that Azure Arc has unique features that can assist in our journey to actively administer large IT estates that are governed, implemented, and managed by automation. Process automation is a big topic that deserves its own book, so this chapter will focus on how the reach of the Arc control plane allows you to extend automation across the IT estate and further is instrumental in creating the feedback loop that nourishes your automated processes.
