896 vCPUs and 32TB RAM... I do not want to see the license cost for SQL Server on one of these! Doing some quick maths: 2vCPUs = 1 Core (give or take) so I think these are 8 x 56 Core Xeons... SQL Enterprise (needed to use the 32TB of RAM fully) is around 7K per core, so the license for SQL alone would be $3.13 Million... It looks like Windows Server 2022 Datacenter is another 6.1K per core, so $2.75 million for that... $6 Million for licencing on SQL and Windows alone... And at $407.68 for the base rate (PAYG) it's another $3.4 Million for the hardware per year...
