   Arc in on-premises or hosted environments, right from the Azure portal.
 * In addition to providing a centralized management of security patching,
   Extended Security Updates enabled by Azure Arc gives you more flexibility

   purchased in yearly increments.

   Microsoft representative.




ADDITIONAL YEAR OF EXTENDED SECURITY UPDATES, ONLY ON AZURE, FOR WINDOWS SERVER

advantage of Azure's commitment to security and compliance and have moved to
Azure to protect their workloads with free Extended Security Updates.

For those customers who need some more time to upgrade and modernize their SQL
Server and Windows Server on Azure, we will now provide one additional year of
free extended security updates, only on Azure. This includes other Azure
products such as Azure Dedicated Host, Azure VMWare Solution, Azure Nutanix
Solution, and Azure Stack (Hub, Edge, and HCI).
