Azure Arc support for Debian 13?

Hello Ryan Bamford

Currently, Azure Arc is officially supporting up to Debian 12, as you've rightly noted. As of now, there hasn't been any announcement regarding plans to support Debian 13.

Here’s a breakdown of relevant points you might find helpful:

1. Current Support: Azure Arc supports Linux distributions, specifically Debian 12 and below. If you're using Proxmox with Debian 12, you're all set, but Debian 13 is not yet validated for Azure Arc use.
2. Role in Azure Arc: Azure Arc enables you to manage your on-prem resources and integrate them with Azure services. As of now, there hasn't been a list of supported upcoming versions regarding Debian, so it’s a good idea to keep checking official documentation or announcements for any updates.
3. Proxmox Integration: You mentioned enjoying the monitoring and management features with Azure Arc and Log Analytics through Proxmox. As long as you’re on Debian 12, you can continue to enjoy these capabilities without issues.
4. Monitoring Compatibility: If you’re operating in a mixed environment with Debian versions lower than 13, it could be beneficial to maintain those versions until support is confirmed for Debian 13.

I suggest keeping an eye on the official Azure Arc documentation or the Azure updates page for any announcements or plans for support of Debian 13.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
