 # Azure Arc overview
 
-Today, companies struggle to control and govern increasingly complex environments. These environments extend across data centers, multiple clouds, and edge. Each environment and cloud possesses its own set of disjointed management tools that you need to learn and operate.
+Today, companies struggle to control and govern increasingly complex environments that extend across data centers, multiple clouds, and edge. Each environment and cloud possesses its own set of management tools, and new DevOps and ITOps operational models can be hard to implement across resources.
 
-In parallel, new DevOps and ITOps operational models are hard to implement, as existing tools fail to provide support for new cloud native patterns.
+Azure Arc simplifies governance and management by delivering a consistent multi-cloud and on-premises management platform.
 
-Azure Arc simplifies governance and management by delivering a consistent multi-cloud and on-premises management platform. Azure Arc enables you to:
-* Manage your entire environment, with a single pane of glass, by projecting your existing non-Azure, on-premises, or other-cloud resources into Azure Resource Manager. 
-* Manage virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and databases as if they are running in Azure. 
-* Use familiar Azure services and management capabilities, regardless of where they live. 
-* Continue using traditional ITOps, while introducing DevOps practices to support new cloud native patterns in your environment.
-* Configure Custom Locations as an abstraction layer on top of Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster, cluster connect, and cluster extensions.  
+Azure Arc provides a centralized, unified way to:
+
+* Manage your entire environment together by projecting your existing non-Azure and/or on-premises resources into Azure Resource Manager.
+* Manage virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and databases as if they are running in Azure.
+* Use familiar Azure services and management capabilities, regardless of where they live.
+* Continue using traditional ITOps while introducing DevOps practices to support new cloud native patterns in your environment.

+Currently, Azure Arc allows you to manage the following resource types hosted outside of Azure:
 
-* Servers - both physical and virtual machines running Windows or Linux.
-* Kubernetes clusters - supporting multiple Kubernetes distributions.
-* Azure data services - Azure SQL Managed Instance and PostgreSQL Hyperscale services.
-* SQL Server - enroll instances from any location with [SQL Server on Azure Arc-enabled servers](/sql/sql-server/azure-arc/overview).
+* [Servers](servers/overview.md): Manage Windows and Linux physical servers and virtual machines hosted outside of Azure.
+* [Kubernetes clusters](kubernetes/overview.md): Attach and configure Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, with multiple supported distributions.
+* [Azure data services](data/overview.md): Run Azure data services on-premises, at the edge, and in public clouds using Kubernetes and the infrastructure of your choice. SQL Managed Instance
+and PostgreSQL Hyperscale (preview) services are currently available.
+* [SQL Server](/sql/sql-server/azure-arc/overview): Extend Azure services to SQL Server instances hosted outside of Azure.
 
-## What does Azure Arc deliver?
+## Key features and benefits
 
-Key features of Azure Arc include:
+Some of the key scenarios that Azure Arc supports are:
 
-* Implement consistent inventory, management, governance, and security for your servers across your environment.
+* Implement consistent inventory, management, governance, and security for servers across your environment.
 
 * Configure [Azure VM extensions](./servers/manage-vm-extensions.md) to use Azure management services to monitor, secure, and update your servers.
 
 * Manage and govern Kubernetes clusters at scale.
 
 * Use GitOps to deploy configuration across one or more clusters from Git repositories.
 
-*  Zero-touch compliance and configuration for your Kubernetes clusters using Azure Policy.
+* Zero-touch compliance and configuration for Kubernetes clusters using Azure Policy.
 
 * Run [Azure data services](../azure-arc/kubernetes/custom-locations.md) on any Kubernetes environment as if it runs in Azure (specifically Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure Database for PostgreSQL Hyperscale, with benefits such as upgrades, updates, security, and monitoring). Use elastic scale and apply updates without any application downtime, even without continuous connection to Azure.
 
 * Create [custom locations](./kubernetes/custom-locations.md) on top of your [Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes](./kubernetes/overview.md) clusters, using them as target locations for deploying Azure services instances. Deploy your Azure service cluster extensions for [Azure Arc-enabled Data Services](./data/create-data-controller-direct-azure-portal.md), [App Services on Azure Arc](../app-service/overview-arc-integration.md) (including web, function, and logic apps) and [Event Grid on Kubernetes](../event-grid/kubernetes/overview.md).
