Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux virtual machines

You can use Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux to easily switch the software subscription model for your Linux virtual machine (VM). Change your subscription model without redeploying your VM and with no risk of downtime. You gain flexibility and savings.

You can switch seamlessly between two subscription models on Azure by using Azure Hybrid Benefit:

• Bring your own subscription (BYOS): In the BYOS model, you bring your own Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) subscription directly to Azure. You pay only for the infrastructure costs of your VM on Azure. The software fee is covered by your RHEL or SLES subscription.

• Pay-as-you-go (PAYG): Use the PAYG subscription model in Azure to pay for RHEL and SLES subscriptions as you use them.

This article defines the BYOS and PAYG subscription models, compares the benefits of each model, and shows you how to use the Azure Hybrid Benefit to switch between the two subscription models for your Linux VMs on Azure.

This process applies to:

• Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets
• Azure Spot Virtual Machines
• Custom images

Azure Hybrid Benefit gives you the option to make seamless bidirectional conversions between the two subscription models on eligible VM instances.

You might see combined savings estimated to up to 76% with Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux and three-year Azure Reserved VM Instances. Savings estimates are based on one standard D2s v5 Azure VM with an RHEL or SLES subscription in the East US region running at a PAYG rate versus a reduced rate for a three-year reserved instance plan. The savings estimates are based on Azure pricing as of September 2024. Prices are subject to change. Actual savings might vary based on location, instance type, or usage.

PAYG vs. BYOS

Azure offers two main licensing pricing options: PAYG and BYOS. With PAYG, you pay only for the resources you use. You can scale up or scale down as needed.

With BYOS, you can use your existing license subscriptions. You don't pay the license fees in Azure.

Note

VMs deployed from PAYG images or VMs converted from BYOS models incur both an infrastructure fee and a software fee. If you have your own license, use Azure Hybrid Benefit to convert from a PAYG model to a BYOS model.

You can use Azure Hybrid Benefit to switch between the two subscription options at any time.

Check the current licensing model of a VM that has Azure Hybrid Benefit enabled

The Azure Hybrid Benefit extension must be installed on the VM to switch the licensing model from BYOS to PAYG or vice versa. You can view whether the agent is installed by using the Azure CLI or the Azure Instance Metadata Service.

Azure CLI

1. You can use the az vm get-instance-view command to check whether the extension is installed. Look for the AHBForSLES or AHBForRHEL extension. If the corresponding extension is installed, the Azure Hybrid Benefit is enabled. Review the license type to determine which licensing model is applied to your VM.

   az vm get-instance-view -g MyResourceGroup -n myVm --query instanceView.extensions
   

2. When the corresponding Red Hat or SUSE Azure Hybrid Benefit extension is installed, use the following command to review the license type that's applied to the VM:

   az vm get-instance-view -g MyResourceGroup -n myVM --query licenseType
   

   The following license types correspond to a PAYG subscription model:

   For RHEL:

   • RHEL_BASE
   • RHEL_EUS
   • RHEL_SAPAPPS
   • RHEL_SAPHA
   • RHEL_BASESAPAPPS
   • RHEL_BASESAPHA

   For SLES:

   • SLES
   • SLES_SAP
   • SLES_HPC

   These license types correspond to a BYOS subscription model:

   For RHEL:

   • RHEL_BYOS

   For SLES:

   • SLES_BYOS

   If the license type of the VM hasn't been modified, this command returns an empty string and the VM continues to use the billing model of the image that you used to deploy it.

Azure PowerShell

1. You can use the az vm get-instance-view command to check whether the extension is installed. Look for the AHBForSLES or AHBForRHEL extension. If the corresponding extension is installed, the Azure Hybrid Benefit is enabled. Review the license type to determine which licensing model is applied to your VM.

   Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName MyResourceGroup -Name myVM -Status | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Extensions
   

2. When the corresponding Red Hat or SUSE Azure Hybrid Benefit extension is installed, use the following command to review the license type that's applied to the VM:

   (Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName MyResourceGroup -Name myVM).LicenseType
   

   The following license types correspond to a PAYG subscription model:

   For RHEL:

   • RHEL_BASE
   • RHEL_EUS
   • RHEL_SAPAPPS
   • RHEL_SAPHA
   • RHEL_BASESAPAPPS
   • RHEL_BASESAPHA

   For SLES:

   • SLES
   • SLES_SAP
   • SLES_HPC

   These license types correspond to a BYOS subscription model:

   For RHEL:

   • RHEL_BYOS

   For SLES:

   • SLES_BYOS

   If the license type of the VM hasn't been modified, this command returns an empty string and the VM continues to use the billing model of the image that you used to deploy it.

Convert PAYG to BYOS

If you deployed an Azure Marketplace image by using a PAYG licensing model and want to convert licensing to BYOS, complete the following steps.

---

Convert a PAYG image to BYOS by using the Azure CLI

Use the Azure CLI to convert a PAYG Azure Marketplace image to a BYOS subscription model.

Red Hat (RHEL)

1. Apply the RHEL_BYOS license type to the VM:

   # This enables BYOS on a RHEL PAYG VM by using Azure Hybrid Benefit.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_BYOS
   

2. When the PAYG to BYOS conversion is finished, you must register the VM with Red Hat for system updates and usage compliance.

3. If you want to return to a PAYG subscription model, set license-type to None. Otherwise, the subscription model continues to be BYOS.

   # If the image started as PAYG and and was converted to BYOS, the following command reverts it back to PAYG.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type NONE
   

SUSE (SLES)

1. Apply the SLES_BYOS license type to the VM:

   # This enables BYOS on a SLES virtual machine.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type SLES_BYOS
   

2. When the conversion from PAYG to BYOS is finished, you must register the VM directly with SUSE for software updates and usage compliance.

3. If you want to return to the PAYG model, set license-type to None. Otherwise, the subscription model continues to be BYOS.

   # If the image started as PAYG and and was converted to BYOS, the following command reverts it back to PAYG.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type NONE
   

Convert BYOS to PAYG

Converting to a PAYG subscription model is supported for Azure Marketplace images labeled "BYOS" and for machines imported from on-premises or from a third-party cloud provider.

Red Hat (RHEL)

1. Install the Azure Hybrid Benefit extension on a running VM. You can use the following command via the Azure CLI:

   az vm extension set -n AHBForRHEL --publisher Microsoft.Azure.AzureHybridBenefit --vm-name myVMName --resource-group myResourceGroup
   

2. After the extension is installed successfully, change the license type based on what you need:

   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for RHEL base/regular repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_BASE
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for RHEL EUS repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_EUS
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for RHEL SAP APPS repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_SAPAPPS
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for RHEL SAP HA repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_SAPHA
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for RHEL BASE SAP APPS repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_BASESAPAPPS
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for RHEL BASE SAP HA repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_BASESAPHA
   

3. Check to see if the "AHB for RHEL" feature flag is enabled:

   az feature list --namespace Microsoft.Compute | grep "AHBEnabledForRHEL" -A 3
   

4. If you want to return to the BYOS model, set license-type to None. Otherwise, the subscription model continues to be PAYG.

   # If the image started as BYOS and was converted to PAYG, the following command reverts it back to BYOS.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type NONE
   

SUSE (SLES)

1. Install the Azure Hybrid Benefit extension on a running VM. You can use the Azure portal or use the following command via the Azure CLI:

   az vm extension set -n AHBForSLES --publisher SUSE.AzureHybridBenefit --vm-name myVMName --resource-group myResourceGroup
   

2. After the extension is installed successfully, change the license type based on what you need:

   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for SLES Standard repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type SLES
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for SLES SAP repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type SLES_SAP
   
   # This enables Azure Hybrid Benefit to fetch software updates for SLES HPC repositories.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type SLES_HPC
   

3. If you want to return to the BYOS model, set license-type to None. Otherwise, the subscription model continues to be PAYG.

   # If the image originally was BYOS and was converted to PAYG, the following command reverts it back to BYOS.
   az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type NONE
   

Multiple VMs

The following command converts the VMs that are specified in the argument to BYOS:

# This enables BYOS on a RHEL virtual machine. In this example, ids.txt is an
# existing text file that contains a delimited list of resource IDs corresponding
# to the virtual machines that use Azure Hybrid Benefit.
az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type RHEL_BYOS --ids $(cat ids.txt)

The following examples show two methods you can use to get a list of resource IDs. One method applies to a resource group, and one method applies to the subscription.

# To get a list of all the resource IDs in a resource group:
az vm list -g MyResourceGroup --query "[].id" -o tsv

# To get a list of all the resource IDs of virtual machines in a subscription:
az vm list -o json | jq '.[] | {VirtualMachineName: .name, ResourceID: .id}'

---

Convert the license type in the VM operating system

Red Hat (RHEL)

To start using Azure Hybrid Benefit for Red Hat:

1. Install the AHBForRHEL extension on the VM on which you want to apply the Azure Hybrid Benefit BYOS benefit. You can install the extension by using the Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

2. Depending on the software updates that you want, change the license type to a relevant value. Here are the available license type values and the software updates associated with them:

   License type	Software updates	Allowed VMs
   RHEL_BASE	Installs Red Hat regular/base repositories on your VM.	RHEL BYOS VMs, RHEL custom image VMs
   RHEL_EUS	Installs Red Hat Extended Update Support (EUS) repositories on your VM.	RHEL BYOS VMs, RHEL custom image VMs
   RHEL_SAPAPPS	Installs RHEL for SAP Business Apps repositories on your VM.	RHEL BYOS VMs, RHEL custom image VMs
   RHEL_SAPHA	Installs RHEL for SAP with High Availability (HA) repositories on your VM.	RHEL BYOS VMs, RHEL custom image VMs
   RHEL_BASESAPAPPS	Installs RHEL regular/base SAP Business Apps repositories on your VM.	RHEL BYOS VMs, RHEL custom image VMs
   RHEL_BASESAPHA	Installs regular/base RHEL for SAP with HA repositories on your VM.	RHEL BYOS VMs, RHEL custom image VMs

3. Wait one hour for the extension to read the license type value and install the repositories.

   Note

   If the extension isn't running by itself, you can run it on demand.

   You should now be connected to Azure Red Hat Update. The relevant repositories are installed on your machine.

4. If you want to switch back to the BYOS model, set license-type to None and run the extension. This action removes all RHUI repositories from your VM and stops associated billing.

Note

In the unlikely event that the extension can't install repositories or if there are any other issues, switch the license type back to empty and contact Microsoft support. Taking this step ensures that you aren't billed for software updates.

SUSE (SLES)

After you successfully install the AHBForSLES extension, you can use the az vm update command to update the existing license type on your running VMs. For SLES VMs, run the command and set the --license-type parameter to one of the following license types: SLES, SLES_SAP, or SLES_HPC.

To start using Azure Hybrid Benefit for SLES VMs:

1. Install the AHBForSLES extension on the SLES VM.

2. Change the license type to the value that reflects the software updates you want. Here are the available license type values and the software updates associated with them:

   License type	Software updates	Allowed VMs
   SLES	Installs SLES Standard repositories on your VM.	SLES BYOS VMs, SLES custom image VMs
   SLES_SAP	Installs SLES SAP repositories on your VM.	SLES SAP BYOS VMs, SLES custom image VMs
   SLES_HPC	Installs SLES High Performance Computing repositories on your VM.	SLES HPC BYOS VMs, SLES custom image VMs

3. Wait five minutes for the extension to read the license type value and install the repositories.

   Note

   If the extension doesn't run automatically, you can run it directly.

   You should now be connected to the SUSE public cloud update infrastructure on Azure. The relevant repositories are installed on your machine.

4. If you want to switch back to the BYOS model, set license-type to None and run the extension. This action removes all repositories from your VM and stops associated billing.

After you successfully install the AHBForSLES extension, you can use the az vm update command to update the existing license type on your running VMs. For SLES VMs, run the command and set the --license-type parameter to one of the following license types: SLES, SLES_SAP, or SLES_HPC.

Azure Hybrid Benefit for reserved instance VMs

Azure reservations (Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances) help you save money by committing to one-year or three-year plans for multiple products. Azure Hybrid Benefit for PAYG VMs is available for reserved instances.

If you purchased compute costs at a discounted rate by using reserved instances, you can apply Azure Hybrid Benefit on the licensing costs for RHEL and SUSE. The steps to apply Azure Hybrid Benefit for a reserved instance are exactly the same as for a regular VM.

Note

If you already purchased reservations for RHEL or SUSE PAYG software in Azure Marketplace, wait for the reservation tenure to finish before you use Azure Hybrid Benefit for PAYG VMs.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Can I use a license type of RHEL_BYOS with a SLES image or vice versa?

  • A: No, you can't. Trying to enter a license type that incorrectly matches the distribution running on your VM won't update any billing metadata. But if you accidentally enter the wrong license type, updating your VM again to the correct license type still enables Azure Hybrid Benefit.

• Q: I've registered with Red Hat Cloud Access but still can't enable Azure Hybrid Benefit on my RHEL VMs. What should I do?

  • A: It might take some time for your Red Hat Cloud Access subscription registration to propagate from Red Hat to Azure. If you still see the error after one business day, contact Microsoft support.

• Q: I've deployed a VM by using a RHEL BYOS "golden image." Can I convert the billing on this image from BYOS to PAYG?

  • A: Yes, you can use Azure Hybrid Benefit for BYOS VMs to convert this subscription model.
