    Yes, you can onboard non-Azure servers, including those hosted on Google Cloud and AWS, to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. This does not necessarily require Azure Arc.

    Here are the general steps to do this:

    1. Download the onboarding package from the Microsoft Defender Security Center.
    2. Extract the package to get the setup file and scripts.
    3. Run the setup on the servers you want to onboard.

    You can also leverage the connectors as below:
