The still revolutionary insight of Buddhism is that life and death are in the mind, and nowhere else. Mind is revealed as the universal basis of experience—the creator of happiness and the creator of suffering, the creator of what we call life and what we call death.

There are many aspects to the mind, but two stand out. The first is the ordinary mind, called by the Tibetans sem. One master defines it: “That which possesses discriminating awareness, that which possesses a sense of duality—which grasps or rejects something external—that is mind. Fundamentally it is that which can associate with an ‘other’—with any ‘something,’ that is perceived as different from the perceiver.” Sem is the discursive, dualistic, thinking mind, which can only function in relation to a projected and falsely perceived external reference point.

So sem is the mind that thinks, plots, desires, manipulates, that flares up in anger, that creates and indulges in waves of negative emotions and thoughts, that has to go on and on asserting, validating, and confirming its “existence” by fragmenting, conceptualizing, and solidifying experience. The ordinary mind is the ceaselessly shifting and shiftless prey of external influences, habitual tendencies, and conditioning: The masters liken sem to a candle flame in an open doorway, vulnerable to all the winds of circumstance.

Seen from one angle, sem is flickering, unstable, grasping, and endlessly minding others’ business; its energy consumed by projecting outwards. I think of it sometimes as a Mexican jumping bean, or as a monkey hopping restlessly from branch to branch on a tree. Yet seen in another way, the ordinary mind has a false, dull stability, a smug and self-protective inertia, a stone-like calm of ingrained habits. Sem is as cunning as a crooked politician, skeptical, distrustful, expert at trickery and guile, “ingenious,” Jamyang Khyentse wrote, “in the games of deception.” It is within the experience of this chaotic, confused, undisciplined, and repetitive sem, this ordinary mind, that, again and again, we undergo change and death.

Then there is the very nature of mind, its innermost essence, which is absolutely and always untouched by change or death. At present it is hidden within our own mind, our sem, enveloped and obscured by the mental scurry of our thoughts and emotions. Just as clouds can be shifted by a strong gust of wind to reveal the shining sun and wide-open sky, so, under certain special circumstances, some inspiration may uncover for us glimpses of this nature of mind. These glimpses have many depths and degrees, but each of them will bring some light of understanding, meaning, and freedom. This is because the nature of mind is the very root itself of understanding. In Tibetan we call it Rigpa, a primordial, pure, pristine awareness that is at once intelligent, cognizant, radiant, and always awake. It could be said to be the knowledge of knowledge itself.

-- The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

A Trip Through The Ages (No One Loves For Free)

the morning sun caresses the room, stirring life with coffee in hand, Angelou's words...fresh her wisdom, a constant marvel, unchanged since my school days when I first consumed her today, overwhelmed by her insight guys like us, rejecting all that's soft in the philosophers we revered...study despite the disdain, seductively loathsome insignificant, at best, in highbrow conversations only men's opinions are deemed valuable feigning indifference to their score donning tight trousers, attempting to tempt

basking in the autumn sun as clouds gather desires of youth and flesh swirling thank you, Angelou, for the enlightenment trying to appear nonchalant, cheeks blazing we sat still, unmoving, and reluctant to flee enduring the thorns of filthy desires navigating the swamp of misogyny until we reached Wollstonecraft's teachings realizing both Bell Hooks and Hannah Arendt shared much their dread of men, each in her own way Hooks feared herself, Arendt feared her allure did their fear flatter or reject their femininity

always cast as the dreaded, unwanted male our harsh drawing them into temptation our masculine, a deadly allure, irresistible yet...how could we not cherish Angelou "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" those adolescent, poet-wannabes in a room mesmerized by music, letting the meanings drift lost in the psalm-like rhythms...we succumbed some attempted to be dutiful souls religious seekers in Teacher's convoluted debates held accountable, yet utterly powerless a sensible man would have howled before God

as naïve students, we were stunned to unravel men's desires; their yearnings are younger than we expected Angelou lusted after a younger soul Guy, her son, no one knows his pain Dickinson, akin to Poe, fixated on the young imposing her will on innocence, unprepared a Pygmalion complex! crafting the submissive doll molding obedience, expecting abandonment it was then i parted ways with poetry a minor sacrifice, despite my devotion to it

we were a band of innocent optimists evil, an unfathomable concept now, by my side, a soul versed in evils familiar with errors, material and spiritual handling them deftly, like changing a lock he prays at chosen moments, designated places (At meals, in church), while i pray without structure, sporadically like a lingering fever, desires waning faith dwells, yet questions with each heartbeat

afternoon arrives, meade in hand engaged with Wollstonecraft "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks" [true. we choose, fearing wrath] an indirect jab at Angelou, i can only presume Hooks' disdain for denying the erotic for it demands acknowledgment before dismissal contemplating her father's stern repression of all things sexual, warping young Bell Hooks yet submitting to her father's authority choosing her father over her Rosa

Hooks speaks truth: deny the erotic and it beckons attention acknowledgment must precede rejection and what of her "Repetition," a theory perhaps rooted in her belief that she could rewrite her courtship with Rosa this time with a joyful resolution while she awaited her...eternally seventeen but within two years, they would tie the knot she longed to create from memories, not the present utilizing ideas, not people

sipping my meader, musing over either/or particularly either, centered on hapless Lenore many encounters with Arendt and Hooks...and Poe now he understood the game he escorted Lenore to the opera once and after Mozart's overture rang out Poe stood up, declaring, "We're leaving now You've witnessed the best: the anticipation of pleasure." in his protracted discourse on the subject he insisted the performance was the essence was the overture merely a prelude? Poor Lenore should've seen the adornment coming

in disguise, he poeticized his voice echoing: Lenore's beauty fleeting like a blossoming night flower, wilted by dawn a relic of one night with Guy de Vere Poe, veiled by romantic notions visualized Lenore as eternally youthful his interpretation naïvely blind innocent sopranos, ready for Lenore...mere myths maybe his diva did dally with de Vere moments before stepping out, believing it enhanced her allure as backstage whispers claim, weakening his resolve

Maya...help me help you Edgar is being a dullit Lenore has so much more to give and the poet philosophers...

...well they know nothing of love and lust as we are all still students learning from a Teacher

ai image generation energy use

confidence: high. all these numbers are kinda ballpark but i'd say i'm within a factor of 4 of being right.

how much energy does it take to make a typical 1024x1024 AI image, including all the images made while "sketching" it out? we can do some rough estimation.

typically, my process takes about two hours to make a "final" image. of that, i generally spend about half the time doing other things waiting for a generation to finish, and half the time tweaking settings/editing it in an image manipulation program. so the image generator is running for an hour total. i run generation entirely on my GPU, and looking at the load shows that it's maybe 50-60% higher than when i play a video game. therefore, the idea-to-finish process takes about as much energy as an hour and a half of playing games.

converting that to absolute numbers: i have a GPU that pulls down about 250W at full blast. it's not running at full thermal load, more like 80%. so let's say 200W. 200W for 90 minutes is **0.3kWh start-to-finish for a single finalized image**. daily US household power usage is 26-33kWH, for comparison.

if you're just making a random image or two for fun, divide that by about 100; to get **0.003kWh = 3Wh**, this means that **generating a single throwaway AI image uses about as much energy for me as playing a video game for a minute** (if one final image is 90 minutes of GPU load, a hundredth of that is about 1 minute).

for the 'cloud' systems like midjourney and what have you, i don't know what they're using, but i suspect that they are using actual tensor processor hardware and not a consumer GPU, which probably has better energy efficiency (power costs money, and more power means more cooling equipment).

this leaves aside training because i have zero insight into that. training is vastly more expensive due to the way it works, but it's also done waaaay less often. i suspect it's still not a lot compared to the overall computer sector energy use.

King Vitreous - CR15 Aberration

Sometimes you just want a harder version of a boss.

Artwork by Whitestar1802 on DeviantArt.

Vitreous is a giant eyeball boss surrounded by a cloud of smaller eyeballs from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I previously published a stat block for it. That stat block is CR 10. If you want a version one or two levels higher or lower, it's easy to apply the advanced, giant, degenerate, or young creature templates to it and its minions. But if you want a version five levels higher, that doesn't work so well, and this bigger and more dangerous version will work better.

Following the naming pattern of Zelda games, I've named this harder version King Vitreous.

Note that this creature has a teamwork feat, Lookout, which thanks to its Foresight of Vitreous ability, allows it and all of its minions to take a full turn in any surprise round, instead of only a standard action. Don't try to sneak up on a cluster of giant eyeballs.

King Vitreous - CR 15

Surrounded by a whole bunch of eyeballs the size of your torso is a gigantic eyeball the size of a small house. They turn independently to look at you, and a thick slime holds them together.

XP 51,200 N Gargantuan aberration (aquatic) Init +10 Senses all-around vision (while electro-vitreous minions are attached), darkvision 60 ft.; Perception +32 Aura mucus (25 ft.)

DEFENSE

AC 32, touch 32, flat-footed 29; (+8 cover, +3 Dex, +15 insight, –4 size); possibly less cover bonus; see electro-vitreous minions hp 187 (15d8+120) Fort +17, Ref +15, Will +20; -4 if no electro-vitreous minions are attached Defensive Abilities protective eyes, insight of vitreous Resist electricity 15 Weaknesses large weak point, vulnerability to slashing and piercing

OFFENSE

Speed 50 ft., swim 80 ft. Melee slam +21 (2d6+10 plus 3d8 acid plus vitreous slime) Space 20 ft.; Reach 15 ft. Special Attacks absorb spawn, trample (DC 24, 2d6+10 plus 3d8 acid plus vitreous slime)

Spell-Like Abilities (CL 15th; concentration +19) At will—lightning bolt (DC 21) 3/day—intensified lightning bolt (DC 21)

STATISTICS

Str 24, Dex 16, Con 26, Int 1, Wis 25, Cha 18 Base Atk +11; CMB +22; CMD 51 (can’t be tripped) Feats Elemental Focus (electricity), Greater Elemental Focus (electricity), Greater Spell Focus (evocation), Intensified Spell-like Ability, Lightning Reflexes, Lookout, Spell Focus (evocation), Weapon Focus (slam) Skills Acrobatics +11, Perception +32, Swim +19; Racial Bonus +12 Perception SQ foresight of vitreous, electro-vitreous minions

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Absorb Spawn (Ex) As a swift action, a vitreous can consume one of its attached electro-vitreous minions, healing 20 hit points but killing that electro-vitreous.

All-Around Vision (Ex) While it has any electro-vitreous minions attached, a king vitreous sees in all directions at once, and cannot be flanked.

Electro-Vitreous Minions (Ex) A king vitreous is surrounded by 20 electro-vitreous creatures which can attach themselves to it. While at least 11 electro-vitreous minions are attached to it, it gains improved soft cover against attacks (+8 AC). While 6 to 10 electro-vitreous minions are attached to it, it gains soft cover (+4 AC). While 1 to 5 electro-vitreous minions are attached to it, it gains partial soft cover (+2 AC).

Any electro-vitreous that is attached to a king vitreous moves rapidly around its body to different positions. Single-target attacks against an electro-vitreous while it is attached to a king vitreous work normally, but area attacks treat 50% of the attached electro-vitreous minions as having full cover, with the king vitreous’s body blocking line of sight and line of effect from the area attack’s point of origin to those creatures. As such, only half of the attached electro-vitreous minions are affected by most area attacks (including burst, line and cone attacks, although area effects such as a cloud that do not rely on line of effect work normally).

If a king vitreous is killed, any surviving attached electro-vitreous minions immediately detach.

Foresight of Vitreous (Ex) A king vitreous gains an insight bonus equal to its Wisdom bonus (typically +7, minimum 0) to its initiative, and can never be surprised or caught flat-footed. This is already included in its statistics above.

Insight of Vitreous (Ex) A king vitreous gains a +15 insight bonus to AC and CMD. This is already included in its statistics above.

Large Weak Point (Ex) If a king vitreous has no electro-vitreous minions attached to it, any attack against the king vitreous has its critical threat range doubled. This effect doesn’t stack with any other effect that expands the threat range of an attack.

Mucus (Ex) A king vitreous drips with a slimy mucus that surrounds it. If it stays in the same location for 1 minute, the area within 25 feet of it becomes covered with this mucus. On land, this mucus covers the ground in this radius, and in water, it surrounds the king vitreous as a cloud. If the king vitreous moves, the mucus becomes inert after 3 rounds, but this duration resets if it returns to the area of the mucus.

A creature other than a variety of vitreous that enters the mucus or starts its turn there must succeed on a DC 20 Reflex save or become entangled and take 1d8 acid damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Protective Eyes (Ex) While any of a king vitreous’s electro-vitreous minions are attached to it, it has a +4 circumstance bonus to all saving throws. If it succeeds on a saving throw by 4 or less while benefiting from this bonus, one of its attached electro-vitreous minions is affected by the effect instead, as if the electro-vitreous failed the saving throw.

King Vitreous Slime (Ex) King Vitreous Slime: disease—slam or trample; save Fort DC 25; onset immediate; frequency 1/hour; effect 1d2+1 Con; cure —.

A creature hit by a king vitreous’s slam or trample must succeed on a DC 25 Fortitude save or become infected with vitreous slime. A creature already infected that is hit by the slam attack must make another save, and immediately take another 1d2+1 Con damage if it fails. A creature reduced to 0 Con by this effect is dissolved into slime, and thus cannot be resurrected except by true resurrection or a similar ability, since its body is destroyed. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Multifamily Utility Submetering: Enhancing Resource Management in Residential Communities

In an era marked by environmental consciousness and sustainable living, the efficient management of resources in residential communities has become paramount. Multifamily utility submetering emerges as a potent solution, empowering property managers and residents alike to monitor and optimize resource consumption effectively. Partnering with Roshan Energy, a leader in utility submetering solutions, residential complexes can achieve greater sustainability and cost-efficiency while enhancing overall living standards.

Understanding Multifamily Utility Submetering

Utility submetering involves the installation of individual meters to measure water submetering services, gas, or electricity usage in each unit of a multifamily residential property. Unlike traditional master-metering systems, which distribute utility costs evenly among residents regardless of individual consumption, submetering provides accurate data on usage at the unit level. This granularity enables residents to pay for only the resources they consume, fostering a sense of accountability and incentivizing conservation.

Advantages for Property Managers

For property managers, multifamily utility submetering offers a myriad of benefits. Firstly, it facilitates fair and transparent billing practices, eliminating disputes over shared utility expenses. By accurately allocating costs based on usage, submetering encourages residents to adopt more responsible consumption habits, resulting in lower overall utility bills for the property.

Moreover, submetering empowers property managers with real-time data insights into resource consumption trends. Armed with this information, managers can identify inefficiencies, detect leaks or wastage, and implement targeted conservation measures. Over time, such proactive management not only reduces operational costs but also enhances the sustainability credentials of the property.

Empowering Residents through Accountability

From the perspective of residents, utility submetering engenders a sense of individual responsibility for resource usage. With access to their consumption data, residents can track their usage patterns, set conservation goals, and make informed decisions to reduce their environmental footprint. This empowerment not only cultivates a culture of sustainability within the community but also translates into tangible savings on utility bills.

Furthermore, submetering encourages behavioral changes that contribute to long-term conservation efforts. When residents directly bear the costs of excessive consumption, they are more likely to adopt energy-efficient appliances, practice water-saving habits, and take measures to minimize waste. These collective actions not only benefit individual households but also contribute to the broader goal of environmental stewardship.

Roshan Energy: Driving Innovation in Utility Submetering

At the forefront of utility submetering solutions, Roshan Energy combines cutting-edge technology with unparalleled expertise to deliver comprehensive solutions tailored to the needs of multifamily residential properties. By leveraging advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and cloud-based analytics, Roshan Energy provides accurate, reliable, and scalable submetering systems that optimize resource management and maximize savings.

Roshan Energy's commitment to innovation extends beyond technology to encompass customer support and service excellence. From initial consultation and installation to ongoing maintenance and support, Roshan Energy partners with property managers every step of the way, ensuring seamless integration and maximum value from submetering investments.

Conclusion

In an age where sustainability is no longer a mere buzzword but a pressing imperative, multifamily utility submetering emerges as a game-changer in residential resource management. By fostering transparency, accountability, and conservation, submetering empowers both property managers and residents to embrace sustainable practices while realizing significant cost savings. With Roshan Energy as a trusted partner, multifamily residential communities can embark on a journey towards a greener, more efficient future.

dopamine: a neurotransmitter responsible for carrying information from the brain to various parts of the body. it is known as one of the hormones of happiness and when released it causes a feeling of pleasure, satisfaction and increases motivation.

addiction: continuous and compulsive consumption of a substance or behavior (games, video games, sex), despite the harm they do to the person and to others.

several times I read myself in the pages of this book, I could see behaviors that I have that seem to be healthy, but are harmful. In fact, I think this is the magic of this book, despite bringing extreme addictions, it also brings some “harmless” addictions, such as reading, watching, eating, exercising, using the cell phone, etc. it's important for us to measure our behaviors so that it doesn't become something harmful, for example: spending hours and hours marathoning series can become a bad habit, it is necessary to understand, why are you doing this? does it affect your routine? pull you away from friends and family? if the answer is yes, then it's time to make changes.

“we all run away from suffering. some take pills. some stretch out on the couch, marathoning netflix. others read cheap novels. we do just about anything to distract ourselves from ourselves.” one of the main reasons that lead us to engage in this type of behavior is the need to escape suffering or discomfort, something that we all experience, we start to tolerate less and less suffering, with that, we always look for something that takes us away from reality.

the author presented a structure that she uses to talk to her patients about compulsive hyper consumption, through the acronym dopamine, it applies not only to conventional drugs, such as alcohol and nicotine, but also to any substance, or behavior, of high dopamine that we ingested for a long time, or simply with which we wanted to have a slightly less torturous relationship. I will present it here as a way for you, the reader, to apply it to your life and analyze your compulsive hyper consumption.

p.s. this is valid for compulsive hyper consumption of substances and behaviors that are not life-threatening to self or others when stopped on their own. in case of dependence on alcohol and other drugs, the support of a medical team prepared for this is necessary.

D stands for data. start by gathering the simple consumer facts. - what, how much and how often?-

O stands for usage purposes. understand what your goals are for the substance use or behavior.

P stands for usage related issues. identify what problems the substance use or behavior is currently or in the future causing in your life. this part is important to consider carefully, as most of us fail to see the full extent of the consequences of drug use while we are still using it. high dopamine substances and behaviors cloud our ability to accurately assess cause and effect.

A means abstinence. (this process is not for people who may be at risk of life-threatening withdrawal if they quit all at once.) start the “dopamine fast” process. go for a period of at least 4 weeks without using the substance or behavior, this will allow your homeostasis to be restored, with this you will again have the ability to derive pleasure from less potent rewards.

M stands for mindfulness. mindfulness is simply the ability to observe what our brain is doing, while it's doing it, without judgment. watch your thoughts and welcome them without judgement, this will make you develop the ability to know your brain and yourself.

I stands for insight. when you abstain from your drug of choice, you gain illuminating insights into your life and a greater understanding of what you used to be like. “you have to leave the island to see the island. we don't see each other if we don't get out of ourselves”.

N means new steps. find out what you are going to do after your month of abstinence.

E means experiment. you will return to the world armed with a new dopamine setpoint and a plan for how to keep it balanced. it will depend on you whether it will be continued abstinence or conscious use.

the author also presented the term self-commitment to treat addictions “self-commitment is the way to intentionally and spontaneously create barriers between us and our drug of choice, to mitigate compulsive hyper consumption.”

there are physical self-commitment, chronological self-commitment and categorical self-commitment.

physical self-commitment is creating literal physical barriers and/or geographic distance between ourselves and our drug of choice. for example: ask the hotel to remove the minibar, put away your video game, put away the television, etc.

chronological self-commitment is the use of time limits and goals. by restricting consumption to certain times of the day, week, month, or year, we narrow our consumption window and thereby limit our use. for example: a person can restrict their usage time and consume only on vacation, on weekends, never before thursday, never before 5 pm, and so on.

categorical self-commitment is a way to limit consumption by classifying dopamine into different categories: subtypes we allow ourselves to consume and those we don't. you should assess what is a “trigger” for your addiction and put it on the list of what not to consume. for example: for a person with addiction to masturbation, seeing his naked body is a trigger, so he will need to avoid seeing himself for a period of time.

self-commitment is a way to be free.

anyway, I couldn't give less than 5 ☆, this book was a lesson. I committed myself to making changes in certain areas of my life and it inspired me as a professional, I wanted to start my postgraduate course in neuro and work with addiction.

Hybrid Cloud Strategies with Azure Arc: My Practical Insight

Are you ready to unlock the true potential of hybrid cloud strategies? Look no further than Azure Arc, the game-changing solution that promises seamless integration and unparalleled flexibility. From streamlining operations to enhancing security, Azure Arc has revolutionized the way organizations harness the power of both on-premises and cloud environments. In this blog post, I’ll be diving into my practical insights on leveraging Azure Arc for your hybrid cloud journey. So buckle up as we explore the endless possibilities and unveil a new era in hybrid computing!

Introduction to Hybrid Cloud Strategies with Azure Arc

I’m under pressure to digitally transform in order to remain competitive. I’m looking to the cloud as a way to accelerate this transformation. Not all workloads, meanwhile, are appropriate for the public cloud. Some may require on-premises or edge computing due to data sovereignty or local regulations. Others may need to be kept on-premises due to performance requirements.

Hybrid cloud strategies allow me to keep some workloads on-premises or at the edge while still taking advantage of the agility and scalability of the public cloud. Azure Arc is a tool that can help me manage and monitor my hybrid cloud deployments. In this blog post, I will share my practical insight into using Azure Arc for my hybrid cloud deployments.

Benefits of Azure Arc Adoption & Challenges in Implementing it

In recent years, using the cloud has grown in popularity among organizations of all sorts. One of the major advantages of cloud computing is its scalability; I can quickly add or remove capacity as needed without making a long-term commitment. Azure Arc is a hybrid cloud solution that allows me to take advantage of the benefits of the cloud while still maintaining control over my data and applications.

There are several benefits to adopting Azure Arc, including:

Increased flexibility and scalability: As mentioned above, one of the major advantages of Azure Arc is its scalability. I can easily add or remove capacity as needed, without making a long-term commitment. This can help me save money on IT infrastructure costs, as well as ensure that I have the necessary resources available when I need them.

Improved disaster recovery: Another benefit of Azure Arc is improved disaster recovery capabilities. With this solution in place, I can quickly recover from outages or disasters with minimal downtime. This can help keep my business up and running even in the event of a major problem.

Enhanced security: Security is always a major concern for me, especially when it comes to sensitive data. With Azure Arc in place, I can take advantage of enhanced security features such as encrypted data storage and multi-factor authentication. This can help give me peace of mind knowing that my data is safe and secure.

Lower maintenance costs: Maintaining on-premises IT infrastructure can be costly and time-consuming. Azure Arc helps me lower maintenance costs by simplifying resource management and automating tasks.

Understanding the Necessary Requirements for Azure Arc Usage

Azure Arc is a cloud management platform that enables me to optimize my hybrid cloud deployments. It provides a unified control plane for managing resources across on-premises, edge, and multi-cloud environments. Azure Arc also simplifies the process of integrating Azure services with on-premises and third-party solutions.

In order to use Azure Arc, I must first have an Azure subscription. I must also have the desired Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template or Resource Manager package deployed in my environment. Azure Arc uses these templates or packages to deploy and manage resources in the target environment.

Once the necessary requirements are met, I can begin using Azure Arc to manage my hybrid cloud deployments. I can use the platform to provision and manage resources, monitor activity and usage patterns, set policies and governance controls, etc. Additionally, I can use Azure Arc to connect my on-premises or third-party solutions with Azure services. This allows me to take advantage of the many benefits that Azure has to offer, such as scalability, high availability, security, and so on.

Steps for Setting Up Azure Arc Configurations

Azure Arc is a cloud service that enables me to manage and monitor my resources whether they’re running on Azure, on-premises, or in other clouds. With Azure Arc, I can use the same tools and portal experiences I’m used to in Azure to centrally govern all my infrastructure.

Setting up an Azure Arc configuration is simple and straightforward. I just need to follow these simple instructions:

9a. If I want to scrape data from multiple workspaces, I can repeat steps 5–8 for each workspace.

Troubleshooting Common Issues Related to Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc If I’m working with hybrid cloud and Azure Arc, there are a few common issues I may run into. Here’s how to troubleshoot them:

I can’t see all of my resources in the Azure portal.

Make sure that I’ve selected the correct subscription in the Azure portal. If I’m still not seeing all of my resources, check the resource provider status page to see if there are any known issues.

I’m getting errors when trying to deploy resource group templates.

When deploying resource group templates, make sure that the template includes all required resources for Azure Arc enabled resource providers. Consult the Azure Resource Manager documentation for further details.

My hybrid cloud app isn’t running correctly.

If I’m having trouble with a hybrid cloud app, first check the logs to see if there are any error messages. Then, try redeploying the app using a different approach (for example, using Azure CLI or PowerShell instead of the Azure portal).

Unifying Multiple Clouds with One Platform:

A Comprehensive Overview Azure Arc is a cloud management platform that enables me to unify multiple clouds with one platform. Azure Arc provides a comprehensive overview of my resources and allows for central management and policy enforcement across all of my Azure subscriptions. Azure Arc also provides integrated security and compliance features to help me secure my data and meet regulatory requirements.

Best Practices for Utilizing Hybrid Cloud Strategies with Azure Arc

When it comes to hybrid cloud strategies with Azure Arc, there are a few best practices that I should keep in mind. For starters, I should make sure that I have a clear understanding of my workloads and how they need to be supported. I should also have a clear picture of my network topology and how the different components will interact with each other. Additionally, it’s important to have a plan for data security and management, as well as monitoring and logging. By keeping these things in mind, I can be sure that my hybrid cloud strategy with Azure Arc is as effective as possible.

All things considered, Azure Arc is an impressive offering from Microsoft that can help me realize the potential of hybrid cloud technology. By leveraging my existing infrastructure while taking advantage of the benefits offered by public clouds like Azure, I can enjoy features such as greater scalability and improved flexibility to meet changing needs. Whether I need basic access control or more advanced policies to manage my distributed systems, my practical insight on using Azure Arc for my hybrid cloud strategy shows how powerful this platform is in streamlining and optimizing cloud operations for various enterprises.
