 ## What is Azure Hybrid Benefit for AKS?
 
-Azure Hybrid Benefit for AKS enabled by Arc is a new benefit that can help you significantly reduce the cost of running Kubernetes on-premises or at the edge. It works by letting you apply your on-premises Windows Server Datacenter or Standard licenses with Software Assurance (SA) to pay for AKS. Each Windows Server core license entitles use on 1 virtual core of AKS. There are a few important details to note regarding activation of the benefit for AKS:

Each Windows Server core license entitles use on 1 virtual core of AKS. There are a few important details to note regarding activation of the benefit for AKS:
 
 - Azure Hybrid Benefit for AKS is enabled at the management cluster (or AKS host) level. You don't need to enable the benefit for workload clusters.
 - If you have multiple AKS on Windows Server deployments, you must enable Azure Hybrid Benefit individually for each deployment.

 [Velero](https://velero.io/docs) is an open-source community standard tool for backing up and restoring Kubernetes cluster objects and persistent volumes. It supports various [storage providers](https://velero.io/docs/main/supported-providers/) to store its backups. If an AKS Arc target Kubernetes cluster crashes and fails to recover, you can use a Velero backup to restore its contents and internal API objects to a new cluster.

+Deploying AKS on Windows Server target clusters on different [software defined networking (SDN) virtual networks (VNets)](software-defined-networking.md) can offer a range of benefits, primarily focused on security, scalability, and organization of networks:
 
 - **Security and isolation**: Each isolated VNet acts as a separate entity, which can help to contain potential security threats. If one network is compromised, the threat is less likely to spread to other VNets.
 - **Scalability**: Deploying AKS target clusters on multiple networks can improve the scalability of your applications. As your requirements and/or compliance grows, you can add more AKS target clusters to new SDN VNets.
