I can't tell if this is a weird rent seeking behavior trying to skim just a little bit more off of on-prem datacenters, and attempt to push people to azure to get the feature for "free", or another way to get companies to use Arc and make their servers phone-home more.

The pricing is so low it confuses me.

Per core. It ain't that low.

40 core dual slotted xeon runs at $60/month? For patches?
