Azure Automation Hybrid Worker Extension for Azure and Arc machines is coming soon

Azure Automation is releasing native integration of Hybrid Workers through VM extensions for both Windows and Linux Azure VMs through Azure Agent for Azure & non-Azure machines through Arc for Server agent.

An extension-based approach of onboarding hybrid workers would offer you some key benefits, such as:

• Seamless onboarding of Azure and non Azure (Arc) machines  – Removing the dependency on Log Analytics solution for onboarding hybrid workers which is a multi-step process, time consuming, and error-prone.
• Ease of manageability– Providing the flexibility for governance at scale through policies and templates by providing a native integration with ARM identity for Hybrid Workers.
