Automated Azure Arc, Azure Local, IoT, and Kubernetes environments
This is the source repository behind Microsoft's Arc Jumpstart site. It holds deployment automation for Azure Arc scenarios (ArcBox, LocalBox, Arc-enabled data services) as PowerShell, ARM and Terraform, plus Helm charts and CRD assets. It is aimed at people who already run Azure Arc and want a tested lab to deploy from, not at anyone looking for a library to import. The walkthroughs live in a separate docs repo, so most people will clone both.
The arc_data_services tree is the most useful part: Helm chart templates for the data controller, CRD definitions, a crd-change-log.json, and per-version migration reports for each CRD bump. Vendors rarely publish that. Each scenario pipeline has a matching destroy pipeline (for example, localbox and localbox_destroy), so teardown is treated as part of the deployment, which matters when the lab bills by the hour. The devcontainer and the stale-branch workflow make contributor setup reproducible, and REPO_POLICIES.md spells out how PRs and issues are handled automatically.
The README says nothing about running any scenario. It points to the docs repo and the contribution guide, so anyone who lands here from a search has to clone a second repo to learn what a script does. The archive/ directory holds old kubeadm, microk8s, AKS-on-Stack-HCI and AKS IoT Edge scripts, and it makes up most of the visible tree. Nothing in the README says which paths are maintained. In the truncated tree I did not see any test or validation harness, so the only check on these scripts before they create paid Azure resources is whoever runs them.
