Visual Studio Lite benefits - without Azure Credits and Keys
As communicated earlier, the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program benefit offerings—including partner benefits packages, Solutions Partner designations, and specializations—will be updated later this...
So they finally updated the partner benefits guide at the end to include the upcoming changes and hard numbers. While the keys are going away, for the Partner Success Benefits Expanded (Core gets boned, sorry) and Solution Competencies, they are increasing the amount of annual azure credits you get. It's not an equivalence to the total value of the VSE (in most cases it's like 1/3 of the value) but it is at least an increase.
Definitely doesn't justify the price increase either.
