Hi, I’m trying to understand how Windows is licensed on Azure, when searching on the web there seems to be contradictory explanations.

Do I have these correct?

Windows server is included in the price. (source Pricing Calculator | Microsoft Azure)

Windows 10/11 requires a separate license. (source How to deploy Windows 11 on Azure - Azure Virtual Machines | Microsoft Learn)

I’m a bit confused about the Windows 10 license. What is the license called I need to buy to run a Windows 10 machine? Windows VDA per device?

Edit: The VM is not for users, it’s meant to run a few automated scripts. If that changes anything.
