106
*[Azure Arc-enabled servers](../azure-arc/servers/overview.md) enables simplified onboarding of hybrid machines to Update Management, Change Tracking and Inventory, and the Hybrid Runbook Worker role.
99
107
*[Azure Alerts action groups](../azure-monitor/alerts/action-groups.md) can initiate an Automation runbook when an alert is raised.
100
