The following video provides an introduction to things that can impact your costs in Azure.
Azure shifts development costs from the capital expense (CapEx) of building out and maintaining infrastructure and facilities to an operational expense (OpEx) of renting infrastructure as you need it, whether it’s compute, storage, networking, and so on.
That OpEx cost can be impacted by many factors. Some of the impacting factors are:
- Resource type
- Consumption
- Maintenance
- Geography
- Subscription type
- Azure Marketplace
Resource type
A number of factors influence the cost of Azure resources. The type of resources, the settings for the resource, and the Azure region will all have an impact on how much a resource costs. When you provision an Azure resource, Azure creates metered instances for that resource. The meters track the resources’ usage and generate a usage record that is used to calculate your bill.
