Description

📝 Scenario

As a SQL admin, I need to review my AHB usage in order to determine if I'm maximizing my existing licenses

💎 Solution

Create a new Azure Hybrid Benefit report for SQL Server licenses.

ℹ️ Additional context

The main issue here is that SQL and Windows usage data is inconsistent. Consider creating a proposal for the SQL and/or VM teams to emit usage in a consistent manner. Another possible workaround is to manipulate data in Data factory, but this is less ideal.

Research direction

Start with the Cost summary report and review how SQL and Windows usage data is currently represented. Clarify the SQL Server license and Azure Hybrid Benefit data with the SQL and VM teams before choosing between consistent usage emission and a Data Factory workaround. Done means a defined, validated SQL Server AHB report proposal.
