Charts & IllustrationsProduction Use of Microsoft Server Applications in Azure Virtual Machines
Microsoft offers product support for most of its server applications in production Azure Virtual Machines, but applications may vary in how they can be licensed. This chart lists all of the Microsoft server products that Microsoft supports in Azure Virtual Machines running Windows Server 2008 or newer. Two notable server applications that are unsupported are Exchange Server and Lync Server.
Depending on the application, customers may have up to two ways to pay for a product used within Azure Virtual Machines for production.
Pay-as-you-go. BizTalk and SQL Server are available in a pay-as-you-go model priced according to the number of virtual cores used for the instance. Windows Server requires the pay-as-you-go model when used in an Azure VM. The costs for server applications in Windows Server VMs in the pay-as-you-go-model are based on the VM compute and memory capacity (on an hourly basis) and the product editions used, and are in addition to any charges for BizTalk Server or SQL Server.
