When you get started with subscriptions and support plans,

00:03.360 --> 00:07.040
costs are very important. You need to understand Azure

00:07.540 --> 00:11.320
costs for the solution that you want to build. You can estimate costs

00:11.820 --> 00:15.240
with the Azure price calculator. In here you can

00:15.740 --> 00:19.120
pick any Azure product to see its price. And also you can

00:19.620 --> 00:22.800
select common scenarios or solutions to estimate costs.

00:23.200 --> 00:26.400
Like for a CI CD solution for containers.

00:27.230 --> 00:30.510
Very useful. Let's try and add a

00:31.010 --> 00:34.270
product, a virtual machine. Okay, let's see.

00:34.670 --> 00:38.270
Here you can see the price tier and associated costs per

00:38.770 --> 00:42.710
hour. Now this price depends on many things, including the

00:43.210 --> 00:46.350
Azure region. Look what happens when I change the region.

00:46.990 --> 00:49.390
A different price for the exact same service.

00:50.270 --> 00:53.640
That's something to consider. Also when I do

00:54.140 --> 00:57.800
this, I add a SQL Server license to the VM that

00:58.300 --> 01:02.920
is included in the price. These are relatively expensive and

01:03.420 --> 01:07.240
down here I can configure more. Here you see the licenses that are

01:07.740 --> 01:11.800
included in the price. I can get a discount with Azure Hybrid benefit

01:12.300 --> 01:15.880
if I already have a valid license. I can also commit to a

01:16.380 --> 01:20.200
savings plan which is where I commit to using this capacity for

01:20.700 --> 01:24.820
a certain time. This reduces the price as well. And let's put

01:25.320 --> 01:28.660
that back. Okay. There are other price

01:29.160 --> 01:32.780
factors like bandwidth. So outgoing bandwidth costs

01:33.280 --> 01:36.540
money. Let's say that every month I transfer 50 gigabytes

01:37.040 --> 01:41.100
of data between the US and East Asia. This costs about

01:41.600 --> 01:45.660
$2. Finally, I can add a support plan

01:45.900 --> 01:49.730
like the standard plan for $100 a month. And that's

01:50.230 --> 01:53.250
it. Here I can choose the subscription type.

01:53.570 --> 01:57.410
The Microsoft Customer agreement is a different name for the pay as

01:57.910 --> 02:02.170
you go subscription. This costs $432

02:02.670 --> 02:05.810
a month. That's for the VM and another service I

02:06.310 --> 02:09.810
added earlier. Look what happens when I enable dev test

02:09.890 --> 02:13.410
pricing. It cuts it down to $267.

02:14.620 --> 02:17.900
That's a huge discount and you should use that for everything

02:17.980 --> 02:19.660
that doesn't run in production.
