Do you want a quick and simply way of understanding if you have applied Azure Hybrid Benefit to your Windows Server or your SQL instances?

In this blog post we’ll show you how to deploy an Azure Dashboard that will give you that overview.

### Azure Hybrid Benefit Dashboard

The [Azure Hybrid Benefit Dashboard](https://github.com/weeyin83/ahub-dashboard?ref=techielass.com) is an open-source project first created by myself to help administrators get an overview of what Windows Servers have Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHUB) enabled or not and also an overview of what SQL server instance have AHUB enabled or not.

### How to Enable Azure Hybrid Benefit Dashboard

- Log in to [<u>Azure Portal</u>](https://portal.azure.com/?ref=techielass.com)

## Conclusion

The [<u>Azure </u>](https://github.com/weeyin83/ahub-dashboard?ref=techielass.com)<u>Hybrid Benefit Dashboard</u> gives you an overview of whether or not your environment is making the most of the Azure Hybrid Benefit you might be entitled to and if you are making the most of any costs savings you can be.

You can build upon that yourself or use the [<u>GitHub repository</u>](https://github.com/weeyin83/ahub-dashboard?ref=techielass.com) to provide feedback and ideas back into this community based project.
