Tracking Azure Hybrid Benefit Using Azure Workbooks
What is Azure Hybrid Benefit?
Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHB) is a cost-saving feature of Azure that allows customers to take advantage of existing Windows Server and/or SQL Server licenses when deploying Azure services. When enabled, it can provide up to a 40% discount on certain Azure services. To track and manage the AHB usage, customers must be able to track the usage of the AHB across their entire estate.

Why Should I Track Azure Hybrid Benefit?
The main reason customers should track their AHB usage is to ensure they are getting the most cost savings out of their Azure resources. If the AHB is not being used to its full potential, then customers could be missing out on potential savings. Additionally, customers should track their AHB usage to ensure they are staying compliant with their license agreements.
