Removed “without Microsoft’s prior written approval” from the clause preventing using MS service to mine crypto…I guess they realised they were never going to give anyone permission for this!
Changed the Use Rights for Azure Local software from:
“Customer may use the Azure Local software only (i) on servers dedicated to Customer’s internal use“
to
“Customer may use the Azure Local software only (i) on devices dedicated to Customer’s internal use“
Microsoft say this represents a move to “include smaller, more affordable devices than traditional servers“
They also removed the following clause “Any customer support for Azure Local that may be available from Microsoft requires that Azure Local runs on server hardware that is pre-validated and listed in the Azure Local catalog or any successor.”
