  1. Managing Costs

Purchasing Azure Resources

  • 3 main customer types for Azure:

    • Enterprise - Customers sign an Enterprise Agreement with Azure that commits them to spending a negotiated amount on Azure services, which they typically pay annually. Enterprise customers also have access to customized Azure pricing.

    • Web direct - Customers pay public prices for Azure resources, and their monthly billing and payments occur through the Azure website.

    • Cloud Solution Provide (CSP) - Microsoft partner companies that a customer hires to build solutions on top of Azure. Payment and billing for Azure usage occurs through the customer's CSP.

  • Products and services in Azure are arranged by category, which have various resources that you can provision. You select the Azure products and services that fit your requirements, and your account is billed according to Azure's pay-for-what-you-use model.
