What Azure technology can Cheska use to simplify management of Kubernetes clusters hosted on a different cloud provider?

Cheska can use Azure Arc to simplify the management of Kubernetes clusters hosted on a different cloud provider. Azure Arc serves as a bridge that allows organizations to manage resources across various environments and cloud platforms seamlessly. It enables the building of a unified management layer for Kubernetes clusters, regardless of where they are hosted, including on-premises or on other cloud providers.

By leveraging Azure Arc, Cheska can take advantage of Azure's management tools and capabilities, such as policy enforcement, monitoring, and security, for her Kubernetes environments that are not natively hosted on Azure. This simplifies operations by providing a consistent management experience and the ability to apply Azure best practices across different Kubernetes deployments.

Azure Kubernetes Service is Azure's native service for managing Kubernetes clusters, but it does not apply to clusters hosted externally. Azure Stack is designed for building hybrid cloud solutions but does not specifically offer features for managing Kubernetes on third-party clouds. Azure Functions, while a valuable service for serverless computing, is not relevant for managing Kubernetes clusters. Therefore, Azure Arc is the optimal choice for the given scenario.
