Azure Hybrid Benefit
The Azure Hybrid Benefit offers a valuable licensing opportunity that can greatly lower your cloud workload expenses. By allowing the use of your on-premises Windows Server and SQL Server licenses that have Software Assurance on Azure, this benefit streamlines your transition to the cloud. Furthermore, it now extends to include RedHat and SUSE Linux subscriptions as well. You can save as much as 85 percent compared to the typical pay-as-you-go pricing by utilizing your existing Windows Server and SQL Server licenses in Azure. To maximize savings, consider combining this benefit with reservation pricing and extended security updates for the best cost of ownership. Additionally, it’s possible to leverage current SQL Server licenses in platform as a service (PaaS) setups, further enhancing your flexibility. Overall, the Azure Hybrid Benefit is a strategic approach to cost reduction that empowers you to utilize your existing licensing investments effectively while transitioning to Azure.

Azure Virtual Network
Azure Virtual Network provides a secure and isolated space for deploying your virtual machines and applications. You can utilize private IP addresses and configure subnets along with access control policies, among other features. This service allows you to manage Azure similar to your own data center environment. All traffic between Azure resources, whether within a single region or across multiple regions, remains within the Azure network—meaning intra-Azure communications do not pass through the Internet. For virtual machine-to-virtual machine, storage, and SQL interactions, the data traverses solely the Azure network, irrespective of the originating or destination regions. Furthermore, inter-region traffic between virtual networks also occurs entirely within the Azure infrastructure. Virtual Network empowers you to seamlessly integrate your on-premises IT setup into the cloud, akin to connecting to a remote branch office. You can securely establish a connection to your virtual network by selecting either an IPsec VPN or a dedicated line with Azure ExpressRoute, ensuring optimal performance and security for your applications. This flexible connectivity enhances the overall efficiency of managing cloud resources and bolstering your operational capabilities.
