Microsoft brings data services to its Arc multi-cloud management service
Microsoft today launched a major update to its Arc multi-cloud service that allows Azure customers to run and manage workloads across clouds -- including those of Microsoft's competitors -- and their on-premises data centers. First announced at Microsoft Ignite in 2019, Arc was always meant to not just help users manage their servers but also allow them to run data services like Azure SQL and Azure Database for PostgreSQL, close to where their data sits. Today, the company is making good on this promise with the preview launch of Azure Arc-enabled data services with support for, as expected, Azure SQL and Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

Premonition sounds like a pretty wild project, but Microsoft says it's based on five years of R&D in this area.
