The Operations team seems to recognize SQL Runtime and SQL Volume License (with SA) as the only valid license options for running SQL in Azure. I've been told by others the runtime does not have use rights in Azure. Can anyone confirm SQL Runtime is allowed in Azure? Why would Operations not recognize SPLA SQL SALs as a valid licensing option? Since they only seem to recognize runtime and Volume Licensing, I have to assume they also would not recognize use of a "SQL Server" in Azure where the cost of SQL is embedded in the "compute" cost of the virtual machine.
