Microsoft to stop selling licenses for Azure VMware Solution
Microsoft will phase out the current licensing model for Azure VMware Solution, The Register reported on Aug. 20. The move removes an option for companies to use VMware Cloud Foundation in the cloud without licensing it directly. Microsoft will stop selling new AVS environments that include VMware licenses from Oct. 31, 2026. Existing customers must switch to a bring-your-own-license model by Aug. 30, 2027.
