I understand AX 7 can come into a few deployment options, on-premise, Azure or mixed.
As a partner I am currently doing some feasibility studies for our clients. I have personally tried the local demo VM version, as well as deploying a demo cloud version in LCS.
For the cloud version, there is a VM for me to connect from the 'Environment' in LCS. Inside the VM I will find the necessary components of AX 7 such as SQL Server, IIS etc.
For the 'production' instance (real subscription), it is going to be 'Microsoft-managed' as I heard Azure SQL will be used, my question is whether we would still have access to any VM as the demo cloud version above? If so, what is the VM used for? This is related to making clear of the infrastructure and evaluating some integration options with external systems.
Anyone has information or experience to share is well appreciated, thanks.
