Migration from Windows Server 2016 Essentials to Azure

[Sunil Khadilkar]

Hi,

At present we have Windows Server 2016 Essentials on physical machine, we are planning to either migrate to Azure with current license or create a new Virtual Server on Azure. My question is, does Azure has "Windows Server 2016 Essentials"? I can only see Windows Server Data Center (2012,2016 etc).

Another question, what is the difference between Windows Server License and Windows Server License with Active Software Assurance? Currently we have Windows Server 2016 Essentials license.
