Hello friends,

Last week at Microsoft Ignite 2024 we introduced Azure Local, cloud infrastructure for distributed locations enabled by Azure Arc. Azure Local is an exciting new chapter for adaptive cloud. It replaces Azure Stack HCI and adds important new options like lower-cost edge devices (preview) and disconnected operations (preview). There is no action required for existing Azure Stack HCI customers: you'll transition seamlessly to Azure Local.

If you haven’t already, check out the announcement blog.

Azure Local is powered by Azure Arc, so it makes sense to unite the Tech Community blogs. Going forward, we’ll use the Azure Arc blog for Azure Local. We’ll migrate all the old content from the Azure Stack blog soon, to ensure that nothing is lost.

On behalf of the team, I want to say a heartfelt thank you for all your enthusiasm, comments, and questions over the years. In the last decade, we’ve published more than 100 posts on this Azure Stack blog, and you’ve read them more than 1.3 million times! Technological progress is a journey with no end, but what really matters is the friends we made along the way. <3
 
Now… go follow the Azure Arc blog! We’re excited to keep the party going over there.

    Hi, 

    I have found out that the product terms limit Azure Hybrid Benefit for Azure Local to EA and CSP costumers only. This means that this functionality is only available for customers with active SA on CSP or EA. Do you know if this will change or the produc terms will be updated now that it has been renamed to Local?
