Azure Hybrid Benefit
Cross-references discovered Windows Server / SQL Server licences against
What it does
Snow Atlas exposes an "Azure Hybrid Benefit" view that tells customers which on-prem Windows Server / SQL Server licences with Software Assurance can be redeployed against Azure compute, and what they would save versus PAYG. This module provides the equivalent for ACQI. Logic: 1. Load Azure VM inventory from (in priority order): AzureVMs.csv | AzureResourceDiscovery_VirtualMachines.csv | AzureVirtualMachines.csv | AzureResources.csv | ComputerInventory.csv then cross-enrich the chosen base set from sibling inventories so thin CSVs gain VmId/image/network fields without inventing rows. 2. Load SQL inventory (SQLInventory.csv + Azure SQL PaaS CSVs) for SQL AHB eligibility / review surface. 3. Load LicenceEntitlements.csv (operator-supplied register) and filter to Windows Server + SQL Server entries that carry Software Assurance (column "SoftwareAssurance" = TRUE) -- only SA-covered licences are AHB-eligible. 4. Greedy-allocate licences to VMs / SQL instances by required core count using Microsoft AHB rules: - Windows Server Datacenter SA -> covers any Windows VM (per VM) - Windows Server Standard SA -> covers up to 2 VMs per licence - SQL Server Enterprise SA -> 1 core licence per Azure vCPU (4-core minimum) - SQL Server Standard SA -> 1 core licence per Azure vCPU (4-core minimum) 5. For every VM / SQL instance compute monthly + annual savings: Windows AHB savings ~= $0.046 / vCPU / hour (D-series indicative) SQL Standard AHB ~= $0.13 / vCPU / hour SQL Enterprise AHB ~= $0.50 / vCPU / hour (730h/month). Override via Configuration.AhbWindowsRatePerCoreHour / Configuration.AhbSqlStdRatePerCoreHour / Configuration.AhbSqlEntRatePerCoreHour. 6. Emit recommendations: ELIGIBLE_APPLY, ELIGIBLE_NO_LICENCE (gap -- buy/extend SA), NOT_ELIGIBLE (Linux / no Windows VM), SQL_PAAS_REVIEW (Azure SQL logical server without vCore meter), OVERPROVISIONED (more SA cores than vCPUs in scope). Output: AzureHybridBenefit_VmEligibility.csv per-VM eligibility + savings AzureHybridBenefit_SqlEligibility.csv per-SQL-host eligibility AzureHybridBenefit_Summary.csv portfolio totals + winner row
How the app exposes it
The module feeds into the ACQI app's dedicated results view. From there, conflicts, dependencies, and readiness scores roll up into the deal workspace.

Each module produces a CSV with readiness and risk scores, evidence-source counts, and last-seen timestamps. The exact columns vary by module — the app's results view shows the live schema.
