But licensing it?
That’s where most get lost.

Azure Has the Scale.

Azure Licensing FAQs
Even experienced teams find Azure’s licensing model overwhelming. We keep hearing questions like ⬇️
Security features often live outside core bundles, and they often go unnoticed until severely needed.
Not necessarily. It depends on your workloads, usage patterns, commitments, and many other factors.
Licensing for hybrid use rights, Arc, and on-prem connectivity is not always an obvious choice.
Without proper visibility, cloud costs often quietly balloon.
