Azure Hybrid Benefit

An Azure licensing benefit that lets you reuse existing Windows Server or SQL Server licences (with Software Assurance or a qualifying subscription) on Azure, so you pay only for the underlying compute rather than the licence too. Why it matters: It can remove a large share of the cost of Windows and SQL Server workloads.
