Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) is a powerful but expensive, subscription-based hybrid cloud platform. It is best suited for large-scale, Microsoft-heavy enterprises that specifically require on-premises Azure services for latency or regulatory reasons. For many other users, traditional Hyper-V on Windows Server is a more cost-effective and flexible alternative that avoids recurring subscription fees and restrictive hardware requirements.

Pluspunten
- Seamless integration with Azure services and management tools (Azure Arc/Portal)
- Good for latency-sensitive or data-sovereignty regulated environments
- Strong security features when correctly implemented
- Supports both Windows and Linux virtual machines and containers (AKS)
Minpunten
- Expensive recurring subscription fees per core
- Requires specific, validated, and costly hardware nodes
- Complex setup and configuration, especially regarding networking and Azure integration
- Limited to local storage (Storage Spaces Direct) for most production use cases
- Can create dependency on Azure connectivity if not carefully configured for disconnected operations

Betere opties
Waarom overstappen: Avoids recurring Azure subscription costs, uses existing storage infrastructure, and works with broader hardware choices.
May be more cost-effective for smaller deployments that do not meet the scale requirements of a full Azure Local cluster.
