Cx is currently migrating his on-prem enviorment which consists of dev and tests servers only to azure. Cx uses a couple of SQL standard servers on site, and to his understanding for dev enviorments on azure, he can use SQL development edition to save cost. Hence, cx wants answer to the following queries about migrating his running servers:

  1. Does he need to reinstall his existing SQL standard servers to SQL development, or as long as it is a dev environment I am ok?
  2. Does it come with additional windows server licenses for dev environment?
  3. If yes, does it come with additional cost?
