Hello

The difference between Windows Server 2022 Standard "Azure Core" and "Modern Work" primarily lies in their intended use cases and the features they offer.

 

The Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition Core includes all the innovations of the standard Datacenter Core version, plus additional features such as SMB over QUIC, Azure Extended Networking, and hotpatching on Server Core enabled with Azure Automanage for Server. This edition is designed for use within Azure and is optimized for cloud environments.

 

On the other hand, the Modern Work category, as part of the Solutions Partner benefits, seems to refer to a broader set of services and specializations that Microsoft offers, which includes Windows Server as part of its suite of products. This category is likely to encompass a range of benefits and capabilities designed to support modern work environments, which may include remote work scenarios, business application support, and cloud capabilities.

 

It's important to choose the edition that best fits your organization's needs, considering factors such as the deployment environment (on-premises vs. cloud), the specific features required, and the scale at which you'll be operating.
