Factors affecting costs

Usage Metres - How much/how long you used something, e.g. in a virtual machine, it could be how long it was running or how many times it wrote to a disk or something like that.
Resource type - Costs are resource-specific, so the usage that a meter tracks and the number of meters associated with a resource depend on the resource type.
Services - Azure usage rates and billing periods can differ between Enterprise, Web Direct, and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) customers. Some subscription types also include usage allowances, which affect costs.
Location - The Azure infrastructure is globally distributed, and usage costs might vary between locations that offer Azure products, services, and resources.
