❖ Microsoft charges for Azure on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis,
meaning subscribers receive a bill each month that only charges
them for the specific resources and services they have used.
❖ Microsoft provides five different customer support options for Azure:
Basic, Developer, Standard, Professional Direct, and Enterprise
(Premier).
❖ Basic support is available to all Azure accounts, but Microsoft charges a
fee for the other support offerings. Developer support costs $29 per
month, while Standard support costs $100 per month and Professional
Direct support is $1,000 per month. Microsoft does not disclose the
pricing for Enterprise support.
