 # What is Azure Local VM management?

 - Updates to VM configurations, such as vCPU, memory, network interface, or data disk via on-premises tools, won't be reflected on the Azure management plane.
 - Moving a resource group isn't supported for VMs on Azure Local and its associated resources (such as network interfaces and disks).
