-- **Arc VMs.** Windows and Linux VMs hosted in an on-premises Azure Local environment. These VMs are created using [Arc VM provisioning flow](../manage/create-arc-virtual-machines.md?tabs=azureportal), registered to [Arc Resource Bridge](../azure/azure-arc/resource-bridge/overview), and have the [Azure Connected Machine agent](../azure/azure-arc/servers/agent-release-notes) installed. Arc VMs offer extensive management capabilities in the Azure portal, second only to native Azure VMs. They allow lifecycle management capabilities like starting, restarting, stopping, changing VM memory/vCPU, and adding or removing data disk and network interfaces with the help of Arc Resource Bridge. In addition, through the Arc Connected Machine agent, they can utilize Azure VM extensions like Defender for Cloud, Log Analytics, and Azure Monitor to help govern, protect, configure, and monitor VMs.
