We help you choose the right VM for your workload and reduce costs. You can migrate your critical workloads to Azure infrastructure and improve operational efficiency. Run SQL, Server, SAP and Oracle® software on Linux or Windows.

Reduce costs – up to 72 per cent compared to pay-as-you-go prices – with term pricing through Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances. Re-use your on-premises licences to run Windows Server VMs on Azure with Azure Hybrid Benefit and combine RIs with Azure Hybrid Benefit to save up to 80 per cent. Take advantage of spot pricing on Azure VMs and VMSS to run interruptible workloads at deep discounts compared to pay-as-you-go rates. Optimise your cloud spending with Azure Cost Management. Get three more years of free extended security updates for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 when you migrate to Azure.

An Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualisation without having to buy and maintain the physical hardware that runs it. You still need to maintain the VM by performing tasks, such as configuring, patching, and installing the software that runs on it.

Linux virtual machines in Azure

Enterprise-grade open-source and community-driven software in seconds and reduce costs.

Select your preferred distribution with Azure Linux virtual machines (VMs), including Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and CoreOS – about 50 per cent of all Azure compute cores are Linux. Use preconfigured solutions from Oracle and other open-source VM-compatible providers and find Azure-optimised Linux images from publishers of your choice. Get the cloud’s only co-located technical support from Azure, Red Hat, and SUSE.

Demand for your application can fluctuate, it might make economic sense to run it on a VM in Azure. You pay for extra VMs when you need them and shut them down when you don’t
