Extended Security Updates in CSP
Hi nick_Anag
ESUs via Azure Arc thorugh CSP are are available from 1 September 2023 onwards and the license-based option will be available from October 2023 onwards.All you need to do is onboard the servers to Azure Arc and for Windows server you create a license assignment and apply it to the Arc VMs. For SQL you just enable ESUs from the SQL configuration blade in the portal.
Here's an official doc stating it:

I know that the details are being included in my post, however the post comes from an internet blog article and not from an official Microsoft resource or announcement. That is why we are reaching out for your official guidance on this!
Kindly move it where you deem appropriate, but please include the appropriate colleague of yours to officially reply to my pretty clear point regarding the availability of ESU through CSP channel.

Per my previous reply, please click on the documentation and FAQ that is included in the announcement. Once you do so, you will find that you're taken to Microsoft documentation.
I will disengage since you now know how to retrieve the official documentation that you're looking for. If you have additional questions about Windows server, I'm confident that someone here on the Windows Server community can assist.
