What is it?

As part of the CSP program, Microsoft is offering Windows and SQL Server subscriptions through Azure.  It is offered as either a 1 year or 3 year subscription.

Is this available through SPLA?

No

Is there monthly billing like SPLA?

There is no monthly billing option.  It is only offered in 1 or 3 year subscription

Is SPLA going away?

No.  It is becoming more challenging from a licensing perspective.

Is RDS available?

No.  It is not available through CSP at this time.

So a SPLA provider can sign up through a CSP provider to offer Windows Subscriptions instead of reporting SPLA for Windows?

That is correct.
