  • Description: While you can’t likely predict your Azure needs perfectly in advance, you can plan ahead for your long-term usage on consistent workloads and save money that way. [...]reservations purchased in advance for multiple services can be swapped for similar services; so, for example, you can exchange Azure VMware Solution reservations for Azure VMs, but you still can’t use them for Databricks, SAP HANA Large Instance, or RedHat software usage). Make sure you’re utilizing the Azure Hybrid Benefit to reduce the cost of Windows Server, SQL Server (including SQL Managed Instance and Azure SQL Database), RedHat and SUSE Linux in Azure — you pay only the reduced compute rate with no need to repurchase licences and you can use the same licence in the cloud and on your own infrastructure for 180 days. If you’re on older versions of Windows Server or SQL Server and you’re not ready to upgrade, you can get free extended security updates by running those workloads on Azure, including Azure Stack systems (and the updates are available for an extra year). [...]you also don’t want to cut production resources to the bone and scrape along with the bare minimum where application performance matters to the business.
