Azure Local supports a new class of devices with reduced hardware requirements. This new, low-cost hardware class referenced as *small* is suited for various edge scenarios across the industry horizontals. To ensure compatibility, interoperability, security, and reliability, this class of hardware must meet the Windows Server certification requirements as well as relaxed requirements from Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) and Windows Server Software-Defined (WSSD) program.
