A global enterprise wants to bring their on-premises Windows and Linux servers and an existing Amazon EKS cluster under Azure governance for inventory, policy, and GitOps-based configuration. They will not move these resources to Azure. Which two actions should you perform?

Correct answer: Install the Azure Connected Machine agent on the servers to onboard them as Azure Arc–enabled servers., Connect the EKS cluster by installing Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes agents using the az connectedk8s connect command (or equivalent Helm-based onboarding)..
Why this is the answer
The correct actions are to install the Azure Connected Machine agent on the servers and connect the EKS cluster using Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes agents. The Azure Connected Machine agent allows on-premises Windows and Linux servers to be managed as Azure Arc-enabled servers, enabling Azure governance features like inventory and policy. Similarly, installing Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes agents on the EKS cluster integrates it with Azure for management and GitOps-based configuration. Deploying only the Azure Monitor agent via Group Policy will not automatically onboard servers to Azure Arc; a separate agent is required for Arc. Creating an Azure Arc-enabled data services instance is for managing data services, not for automatically enrolling all non-Azure servers and clusters. Migrating servers to Azure Stack HCI is a migration strategy, not a method for extending Azure governance to existing non-Azure infrastructure, and Azure Arc does support non-Azure infrastructure.
