 Azure Monitor supports multiple methods to install the Azure Monitor agent and connect your machine or server registered with Azure Arc-enabled servers to the service. Azure Arc-enabled servers support the Azure VM extension framework, which provides post-deployment configuration and automation tasks, enabling you to simplify management of your hybrid machines like you can with Azure VMs.
 
 The Azure Monitor agent is required if you want to:
 
-* Monitor the operating system and any workloads running on the machine or server using [VM insights](../../azure-monitor/vm/vminsights-overview.md).
-* Analyze and alert using [Azure Monitor](../../azure-monitor/overview.md).
-* Perform security monitoring in Azure by using [Microsoft Defender for Cloud](../../defender-for-cloud/defender-for-cloud-introduction.md) or [Microsoft Sentinel](../../sentinel/overview.md).
-* Collect inventory and track changes by using [Azure Automation Change Tracking and Inventory](../../automation/change-tracking/overview.md).

 This article reviews the deployment methods for the Azure Monitor agent VM extension, across multiple production physical servers or virtual machines in your environment, to help you determine which works best for your organization. If you are interested in the new Azure Monitor agent and want to see a detailed comparison, see [Azure Monitor agents overview](../../azure-monitor/agents/agents-overview.md).

-* Limited automation when using an Azure Resource Manager template.
-* Can only focus on a single Arc-enabled server, and not multiple instances.
