 ## Understand connected and disconnected modes
 
 Contoso has operational capabilities in countries/regions where data is required to be on-premises due to regulations and low latency needs. Azure Arc-enabled data services can be useful in this situation. Since the data is stored in a specific country/region, regulation compliance and data sovereignty requirements can be met. Underlying latency issues are also resolved by enabling databases locally or in close proximity to operations.
 
-The disconnected mode of deployments doesn't automatically load any data sets back to Azure. For example, billing files, logs, and metrics aren't loaded automatically. Inventory information is only used for billing purposes. With this mode, you can manually export and load the billing file to the Azure portal on a regular basis. Although disconnected mode doesn't automatically load the file, you still get scaling, evergreen SQL, and other benefits from the solution.

With this mode, deployment data is still processed on-premises and you can optionally upload logs to Azure. The inventory information is only a metadata representation of assets that you have.
