Azure Local can host various types of VMs including Arc-enabled servers, unmanaged VMs, and VMs enabled by Azure Arc. When comparing these options, the Azure Local VMs enabled by Azure Arc provide the highest level of management capabilities in Azure portal, second only to [native Azure VMs](/azure/azure-local/concepts/compare-vm-management-capabilities).

While the architecture of Azure Local VMs is designed to be managed by the Azure control plane, these VMs can also be managed by on-premises local tools. These tools include System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), Failover Cluster Manager, Hyper-V Manager, and Windows Admin Center. Many customers have used these tools for years to manage their on-premises VMs.
