Extended Security Updates ESU for Windows Server with Azure Arc

With Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 reaching end of support on October 10, 2023, Azure Arc-enabled servers lets you enroll your existing Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 machines in Extended Security Updates (ESUs). Affording both cost flexibility and an enhanced delivery experience, Azure Arc better positions you to migrate to Azure.
In this video I had the chance to Nate Waters (Senior Marketing Manager at Microsoft) and Aurnov Chattopadhyay (Product Manager at Microsoft) about the new ESU feature in Azure Arc.

You did not explain about the agent installation on the server and the connectivity to azure portal

[@Thomas_Maurer]

There is a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJm1YpueatiUhq8 this is a bit older but it is still valid, we just added some new features.

So if I had an RG with say 300 STD 2012 R2 servers with a core count of 1809 for example, it would just be a case of 1809/16 to get the correct packs?
