How do I run Azure PAAS features on prem?

Question

I am building an app that was going to leverage Azure PAAS as much as possible (functions, cosmos, SQL tables, ASB, etc.). The business has come up with a new requirement that I will occasionally need to be able to run an entire copy of my application disconnected from the cloud with a sync step when again connected.

Is it possible to move my PAAS services on prem and have them use a local for example Azure Service bus or should I start looking at containerizing and using 3rd party software (RabbitMQ) so I am portable?

Thanks

Azure Stack Hub would be that answer to "how do I run Azure PaaS workloads on-prem", but :

• It's a very heavy solution, even in its evaluation version (ASDK). Probably way too complicated and costly for such an infrequent use, but that would be your decision to make ultimately.
• It's far from supporting every type of Azure PaaS workflow, so it may not even suit your needs.

So maybe you should start looking at a different solution, indeed...
