Why Move from SPLA to CSP with Azure Arc?
Switching to CSP for SQL Can Mean Real Savings
Switching to SQL licensing via Azure Arc under the CSP program can significantly reduce your costs — especially when considering potential savings from unused resources and built-in pricing efficiencies.

Only pay for what you use with hourly billing — ideal for dynamic or seasonal workloads.
