Being it is a hybrid cloud-based, will be able to deploy the end to end application easily Opportunity to deploy the applications both on-premise and as well as on the cloud Azure stack HCI supports integration features, so that will be able to integrate other applications/features Azure stack HCI is a hybrid cloud-based, so we can work on Linux as well with the help of the virtualization principle.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Able to manage hybrid OS on the cloud.
The integration feature is very helpful too.
Works on both Windows and Linux by virtualization technique.

Things done well

Interruptions are there when the connection is low.
Improvement needed on Integration feature.
A lot of issues were faced while implementing.
Documentation should be clear and straightforward.
Improvement needed on Documentation.

Things done poorly

It will be effective for an organization that is planning to deploy the application on the cloud and as well as on-premise.
  Organizations planning to work on hybrid-based can go for it blindly  If looking for security it's an ultimate solution, being it is hybrid-based security is well enhanced.

The upside is the integration feature.
Pricing is a little higher.
When compared with another platform, Azure Stack HCI is performing/ functioning brilliantly.

Hybrid Operating system - Azure Stack HCI is a hyper-converged infrastructure operating system. We can use it for managing hybrid operating systems on the cloud. so we have used for cost affecting the cloud service in our current client I suggest we can use it a minimal way for hybrid cloud computing through Azure Stack HCI.

Sometimes these azure stack HCI services will be too slow by the azure side. Get robust host security with Secured-core server, improve performance for machine learning models with GPU enablement and maximize the performance of virtual desktop infrastructure. Extend your data center to the cloud with Azure Backup, Azure Monitor, and Azure Security Center.

Scale-out storage
Virtual desktop infrastructure
Trusted enterprise virtualization

We can deploy the application into windows and Linux virtual machines in the datacentre, Azure service. It provides the latest security, performance, and hybrid capabilities, which now include Azure Arc enablement and new management scenarios through the Azure portal.  GPU enablement and maximizing performance of we can go virtual desktop infrastructure.
