-**Protection of VM workloads via Azure Site Recovery** - You can protect your business critical VM workloads running on Azure Local by replicating the VMs using the Azure Site Recovery agent which is deployed as an Arc for Server extension. The Azure Local managed identity is used to download a key credential file from Azure. This file lets the agent know which service to talk to and which Recovery services vault to communicate with. This mechanism allows us to scope the access to the Recovery services vault to only the applicable Azure Local.

The Arc for Server extension uses the system managed identity to download the key credential file to every machine of the system. If a new machine is added to your system, Azure Local automatically triggers the installation of Arc for Server extension for Azure Site Recovery on the new machine. In the absence of managed identity, this was previously a manual step that required you to install the agent to each machine that was added to the system.

Completing the migration or deleting the protected item will automatically remove any leftover seed files, such as the seed.iso file attached to the migrated VM and seed disks used during replication. These files can occupy significant space on the target Azure Local system, so it's important to finalize the migration after verifying the VMs. If migrations are not completed, these files will continue to occupy space on the target system.
