You are planning cost-optimized migrations. The company owns Windows Server Datacenter and SQL Server Enterprise core licenses with active Software Assurance. It also runs 50 Ubuntu VMs with Canonical support contracts.

Correct answer: Windows Server VMs in Azure., Azure SQL Managed Instance..
Why this is the answer
Azure Hybrid Benefit allows you to use your on-premises Windows Server and SQL Server licenses with active Software Assurance to reduce the cost of running virtual machines and SQL Database services in Azure. Therefore, the Windows Server VMs in Azure and the Azure SQL Managed Instance can both leverage this benefit. Ubuntu Linux VMs do not qualify for Azure Hybrid Benefit, as it's specific to Microsoft licenses. Azure Cosmos DB is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering with its own pricing model, not eligible for Hybrid Benefit. The Azure Kubernetes Service control plane is a managed service component and does not directly consume customer-provided licenses.
