Microsoft: Our licensing terms do not meaningfully raise cloud rivals' costs

Re: Tunneling often works better than frontal attacks

Azure runs on Windows Server, the problem is that they charge more for less each year it seems. If they want to be competitive they need to bring down their prices. Surprisingly, Windows Server on-prem still holds around a 72% marketshare, and it hasn't changed much in years. It is great for a full fat server, but it just isn't there when it comes to containers, plus the licensing to use it is too complex. They need to simplify it.
