This version integrates the Azure Arc infrastructure that provisions and manages the workloads such as Arc VMs, Azure Kubernetes Services, and Azure Virtual Desktop.

With version 23H2, Azure Stack HCI evolved from a cloud connected operating system (OS) to an Arc enabled solution. The OS forms the base layer of this solution, with the Arc and the Orchestrator (also known as the Lifecycle Manager) components layered on top. These components are packaged together into a solution that follows an [Infrastructure as code (IaC)](/devops/deliver/what-is-infrastructure-as-code) model.
