Bring Azure services into your data centre with a consistent, secure and hybrid experience.
Designed for organisations requiring low latency, compliance, and full control over their infrastructure, Azure Local enables seamless integration between public cloud and on-premises resources, delivering cloud services like Kubernetes, Logic Apps, SQL, and Azure Virtual Desktop on-premises.
Built on production-grade infrastructure, Azure Local allows you to modernise applications, run AI at the edge, and maintain governance and performance, all within your data centre.
Azure Local delivers the same tools, services and management interfaces as public Azure, providing a consistent experience across both environments.
Through Azure Arc integration, you can manage your entire hybrid environment from a single pane of glass, streamlining operations and governance.
Run cloud-native services close to your data, reducing latency and helping meet data residency or compliance requirements.
Deploy production workloads in days, scale as your needs grow, and use infrastructure-as-code for consistent, automated provisioning.
Optimise your cloud spend with transparent cost visibility, pay-as-you-grow models, and control over where workloads reside.
This is not merely a local version of Azure; it’s a unified platform that offers a consistent, enterprise-grade Azure experience across both on-premises and cloud environments.
Azure Local supports a wide range of hybrid and edge scenarios where organisations need the agility of cloud services but the control of on-premises infrastructure.
Organisations can leverage Azure Local to introduce modern development platforms like Kubernetes, Logic Apps, and Azure Functions into their data centre. This enables teams to deploy and scale applications using the same tools as public Azure, without the need to move data or workloads off-site.
Latency-sensitive workloads like SQL databases or financial transactions can be hosted locally while still connecting to cloud-based services. Azure Local ensures these workloads run close to where the data is created and used, enhancing responsiveness and user experience.
For industries such as government, healthcare, and finance with strict data residency or compliance needs, Azure Local enables sensitive workloads to stay on-premises while accessing Azure-native governance, security, and policy tools via Azure Arc.
With Azure Virtual Desktop running on Azure Local, organisations can deliver secure, high-performance virtual desktops even in disconnected or limited connectivity environments. This setup is perfect for education, remote sites, and scenarios requiring controlled access.
Azure Local offers support for automated disaster recovery testing, high availability setups, and infrastructure monitoring. This enables IT teams to verify recovery plans, maintain uptime, and identify issues before they affect business operations.
Routine infrastructure tasks such as virtual machine (VM) provisioning, network configuration, and patching can be automated using Command Line Interface (CLI), PowerShell, and ARM templates. Azure Local supports repeatable, error-resistant deployments that follow infrastructure-as-code best practices.
Accelerate time to value with repeatable, automated provisioning and infrastructure-as-code templates.
Maintain data sovereignty and on-premises control while taking advantage of Azure’s built-in security tools.
Reduce total cost of ownership with hybrid cloud economics and predictable scaling models.
Keep workloads close to users and data sources while maintaining full Azure compatibility.
Ensure availability, performance and disaster recovery for mission-critical workloads.
