Azure Local
Azure Local is a hybrid cloud platform by Microsoft Azure designed to run both modern and traditional applications locally. It offers flexibility, security, and unified management for your on-premises infrastructure. This compute service allows organizations to maintain their existing workloads while leveraging cloud-like capabilities directly within their own data centers, ensuring consistent operations across different environments without requiring a full public cloud migration.
Choose Azure Local when you need to extend Azure services to edge locations or on-premises sites. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service. The pricing model is strictly pay-as-you-go, meaning you will incur costs based on actual usage rather than a fixed monthly fee or a complimentary entry level option, which may impact budgeting for smaller deployments.
