Administrators can manage Azure Arc VMs on their Azure Local instances by using Azure management tools, including the Azure portal, the Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, and [Azure Resource Manager](/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/overview) templates. By using Azure Resource Manager templates, you can also automate VM provisioning in a secure cloud environment.
