 # Azure Arc-enabled servers VMware Frequently Asked Questions
 
-This article addresses frequently asked questions about Arc-enabled servers on virtual machines running in VMware environments.
+This article addresses frequently asked questions about Arc-enabled servers on virtual machines running in VMware vSphere environments.
 
 ## What is Azure Arc?
 
-Azure Arc is the overarching brand for a suite of Azure hybrid products that extend specific Azure public cloud services and/or management capabilities beyond Azure to on-premises environments and 3rd-party clouds. Azure Arc-enabled server, for example, allows you to use the same Azure management tools you would with a VM running in Azure with a VM running on-premises in a VMware cluster.

+> Arc-enabled VMware vSphere supports vSphere environments anywhere, either on-premises as well [Azure VMware Solution (AVS)](./../../azure-vmware/deploy-arc-for-azure-vmware-solution.md), VMware Cloud on AWS, and Google Cloud VMware Engine.
 
 The easiest way to think of this is as follows:
 
-- Arc-enabled server is responsible for the guest operating system and knows nothing of the virtualization platform that it’s running on. Since Arc-enabled server also supports bare-metal machines, there may, in fact, not even be a host hypervisor. 
+- Azure Arc-enabled servers interact on the guest operating system level, with no awareness of the underlying infrastructure fabric and the virtualization platform that it’s running on. Since Arc-enabled servers also support bare-metal machines, there may, in fact, not even be a host hypervisor in some cases.
 
-- Arc-enabled VMware vSphere is a superset of Arc-enabled server that extends management capabilities beyond the guest operating system to the VM itself. This provides lifecycle management such as VM start, stop, resize, create, and delete. These lifecycle management capabilities are exposed in the Azure portal and look and feel just like a regular Azure VM. See [What is Azure Arc-enabled VMware vSphere](/azure/azure-arc/vmware-vsphere/overview.md) to learn more.

 > [!NOTE]
-> Arc-enabled VMware vSphere also provides guest operating system management—in fact, it uses the same components as Arc-enabled server. However, during Public Preview, not all Azure services supported by Arc-enabled server are available for Arc-enabled VMware vSphere—currently Azure Monitor, Update Management and Microsoft Defender for Cloud are not supported. Arc-enabled VMware vSphere is not supported by Azure VMware Solution (AVS).

 ## Can I use Azure Arc-enabled server on VMs running in VMware environments?
 
-Yes. Azure Arc-enabled server works with VMs running on VMware vSphere as well as Azure VMware Solution (AVS) and supports the full breadth of guest management capabilities across security, monitoring, and governance.

+## Which operating systems does Azure Arc-enabled servers work with?
 
-Arc-enabled server and/or Arc-enabled \<hypervisor\> works with all supported versions of Windows Server and major distributions of Linux.
+Azure Arc-enabled servers and/or Azure Arc-enabled VMware vSphere work with [all supported versions](./prerequisites.md) of Windows Server and major distributions of Linux. As mentioned, even though Arc-enabled servers work with VMware vSphere virtual machines, the [Connected Machine agent](agent-overview.md) has no notion of familiarity with the underlying infrastructure fabric and virtualization layer.
 
-<!--To address this question properly, we need to specify which Arc service the question applies to. Let’s assume the question applies to Arc-enabled server and/or Arc-enabled \<hypervisor\>: it works with all supported versions of Windows Server and major distributions of Linux. -->
-
-## Should I use Arc-enabled server, Arc-enabled\<hypervisor\>, and can I use both?
-
-While Arc-enabled server and Arc-enabled VMware vSphere can be used in conjunction with one another, please note that this will produce dual representations of the same underlying Virtual Machine. This scenario may produce potentially duplicate guest management and is not advisable.
