Overview
This section covers day-2 operational solutions, tooling, and supporting workloads for Azure Local environments. These are not Microsoft-published Azure services — they are purpose-built operations frameworks, automation runbooks, and companion workloads that run alongside Azure services on Azure Local clusters.
For Azure-native services deployed on Azure Local (AVD, AKS, App Services, SQL MI, ML/AI, IoT), see the Azure Services section.
