| 11 | +# Microsoft Azure ResourceConnector management client library for .NET |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Azure Arc resource connector or azure arc resource bridge is a Microsoft managed product that is part of the core Azure Arc platform. It is designed to host other Azure Arc services. The resource bridge supports VM self-servicing and management from Azure, for virtualized Windows and Linux virtual machines hosted in an on-premises environments (Arc Enabled VMware vSphere, Azure Stack HCI, Arc-enabled SCVMM). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Arc resource bridge is a packaged virtual machine that hosts a management Kubernetes cluster and requires minimal user management. The virtual machine is deployed on the on-premises infrastructure, and an ARM resource of Arc resource bridge is created in Azure. The two resources are then connected, allowing VM self-service and management from Azure. The on-premises resource bridge uses guest management to tag local resources, making them available in Azure. |

| 17 | + |
| 18 | +This library follows the [new Azure SDK guidelines](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/general_introduction.html), and provides many core capabilities: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + - Support MSAL.NET, Azure.Identity is out of box for supporting MSAL.NET. |
| 21 | + - Support [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) for distributed tracing. |
| 22 | + - HTTP pipeline with custom policies. |
| 23 | + - Better error-handling. |
| 24 | + - Support uniform telemetry across all languages. |
