Hey Wes — I’m in the LBC this week. If you can, can you touch upon this question? BTW, the dual use rights question was mine, so thanks for that additional clarity!

So I spoke with Microsoft account team and they said, hyper-threading isn’t relevant for per-vm SQL licensing. All I have to do is ensure we have licenses purchased for each vcore allocated to the VMs l, with a 4-core minimum. This is so frustrating

Bastards…lol

Thank you — Does core pinning work as well? I.e. assign 4 specific cores to the VM?

If HT is disabled on the host or we do cpu affinity on the host to pin to specific cores, does that negate having to buy the extra cores? Appreciate any insight you can provide.

@getwired.com — question about SQL licensing that’s licensed per-core for a VM. DoM member article states if HT is enabled, you have to double up on licensing. Say my host has 2 processors with 32 cores with HT and my SQL VM has 4 cores, do I need to license 8 cores?

Yes, RDP. Here’s another write up on it: www.jasonfritts.me/2019/09/26/w...

Now do DNSSEC and DANE 🤓

What team are you rooting for to win the Super Bowl?

To be fair, Microsoft licensing employees provide more incorrect answers than correct.

Hear me out: AI chatbot that provides authoritative answers to all things Microsoft licensing! 😂

The best thing to do is access the azure advisory portal and it will outline any resource in your tenant that are impacted: www.portal.azure.com#view/Microso...

I think there’s some confusing messaging. Microsoft has other CDN offerings thst use the azureedge.net domain — those are known as “Microsoft CDN” and are not impacted by the bankruptcy. The impacted CDN profiles resolve to IP address that’s not owned by Microsoft.

Also, traditional Italian cookies from the local Italian bakery 🤤

It’s really good!
