Overview of Azure Arc-enabled service validation
Microsoft recommends running Azure Arc-enabled services on validated platforms whenever possible. This article explains how various Azure Arc-enabled components are validated.
Currently, validated solutions are available from partners for Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes and Azure Arc-enabled data services.
Validated Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes distributions
Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes works with any Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certified Kubernetes clusters. The Azure Arc team worked with key industry Kubernetes offering providers to validate Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes with their Kubernetes distributions. Future major and minor versions of Kubernetes distributions released by these providers will be validated for compatibility with Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes.
Validated data services solutions
The Azure Arc team worked with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners and storage providers to validate Azure Arc-enabled data services solutions. This includes partner solutions, versions, Kubernetes versions, SQL engine versions, and PostgreSQL server versions that have been verified to support the data services.
Validation process
For more details about the validation process, see the Azure Arc validation process in GitHub. Here you find information about how offerings are validated with Azure Arc, the test harness, strategy, and more.
