Optimise Linux Before You Deploy
Exigo Tech reviews your existing subscriptions before deployment, applying Azure Hybrid Benefit for RHEL and SUSE where it genuinely saves money, rather than defaulting to whichever option is fastest to click through. Beyond licensing, we manage the day-to-day reality of running Linux at scale, patch cadence, kernel updates, and open-source technology support across Microsoft's full endorsed distribution list, including RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and Debian.

Business Outcomes Enabled
No Duplicate Licensing Spend
Existing RHEL/SUSE agreements are applied via Azure Hybrid Benefit instead of being paid for twice.
Predictable Support Coverage
The right support model is in place from day one, rather than discovered as a billing surprise.
Consistent Security Posture
Regular patching across every distribution reduces the window of exposure to known vulnerabilities.
Simplified Multi-Distribution Management
One provider manages RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu, and other distributions consistently, rather than fragmented tooling per OS.
Smooth On-Premises to Cloud Transition
Existing Linux workloads move to Azure without unexpected compatibility issues.

Pay-As-You-Go bundles vendor support into the Azure compute rate; Bring-Your-Own-Subscription (BYOS) requires you to hold your own support agreement directly with the distribution vendor (like Red Hat or SUSE), often at a lower Azure compute rate.
Azure Hybrid Benefit lets you apply an existing RHEL or SUSE subscription to Azure virtual machines, reducing your Azure compute costs since you're not paying for support that's already covered by your existing agreement.
Yes, Azure supports converting between On-Demand (Pay-As-You-Go) and Cloud Access (BYOS) licensing models via Azure Hybrid Benefit, though the right choice from the start avoids unnecessary switching complexity.
Yes. We manage kernel and security patching on a scheduled cadence appropriate to each distribution, rather than leaving updates to chance.
Yes. We manage the migration of on-premises Linux workloads to Azure Virtual Machines, handling distribution compatibility and minimising disruption to running services.
