The Microsoft Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server (formerly Windows Server Azure Hybrid Use Benefit) has been around for some time now. It was announced in late 2017 that this benefit would be extended to SQL Server - and we now have details!
    
    &lt;b&gt;What does it do?&lt;/b&gt;
    The &lt;a href="https://mindmajix.com/microsoft-azure-training"&gt;Microsoft Azure Hybrid Benefit&lt;/a&gt; for SQL Server allows appropriately licensed organizations to offset some of their Azure SQL costs using on-premises licenses.
    
    You won't be charged for the use of the included Azure Data Services, but you will still need to pay for other associated costs such as compute, storage, backup and input/output (I/O).
    
    &lt;b&gt;Use rights&lt;/b&gt;
    
    Licenses assigned to Azure services cannot also be used elsewhere - apart from a one-time, 180-day (max.) exception to allow the migration of services to Azure.
    
    Running a passive fail-over instance within Azure is permitted for licenses assigned under this benefit, up to the same number of licenses as the live instance.All Rights Reserved
