Azure Virtual Machine Billing -


i dont know if right place, assuming msft staff answers these questions since azure portal links stackoverflow?

questions:

  • i understand azure no longer bills me vm long , cloud service stopped. unclear going billed cloud service itself? example create virtual machine , doing cloud service (with ip). turn off virtual machine , cloud service. still billed cloud service though turned off?
  • continuing on question above. billed storage fees virtual machines filesystem. windows vms around 120gb in size. how billing work out virtual machines? , how change if machine turned off.
  • how custom images billed? create windows 2012 master image iis , few other components installed. create own image can bring vms more rapidly. vm image stored? in blob container under vhd's? , again microsoft charge me store image? full 120+ gb or actual size of image stored.

sorry ask these questions. tried best google around , find post scott gu stated vms wont billed , little detail beyond that.

i understand azure no longer bills me vm long , cloud service stopped. unclear going billed cloud service itself? example create virtual machine , doing cloud service (with ip). turn off virtual machine , cloud service. still billed cloud service though turned off?

essentially think of cloud service shell under deploy vm. among other things, cloud service provides dns (yourcloudservice.cloudapp.net example). charged vm , not cloud service if have nothing deployed in cloud service, don't charged anything.

continuing on question above. billed storage fees virtual machines filesystem. windows vms around 120gb in size. how billing work out virtual machines? , how change if machine turned off.

yes, believe so. charged 120 gb of storage (based on blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_shep/archive/2013/06/10/azure-billing-per-minute-and-no-compute-charge-for-a-stopped-iaas-vm.aspx) [see note on pricing below].

how custom images billed? create windows 2012 master image iis , few other components installed. create own image can bring vms more rapidly. vm image stored? in blob container under vhd's? , again microsoft charge me store image? full 120+ gb or actual size of image stored.

custom images billed in similar way standard images in both cases vhd file stored in blob storage account microsoft charge storage. since vhds saved page blobs , page blobs charged based on bytes occupied charged space consumed.

update

vhd pricing: vhds stored in blob storage page blobs , pricing of page blobs calculated little bit differently. page blobs, you're charged bytes used instead of total blob size. example, have vhd of 120 gb size (i.e. page blob size 120 gb) you're occupying 30 gb there, you're charged 30 gb , not 120 gb.

5 Reasons to Blog Anonymously (and 5 Reasons Not To)

This guest post is by Phil (not his real name) of somehighschoolblog . It used to be impossible to run a business anonymously. Sure, some authors could pull it off, but if you worked at an office, what were you supposed to do? Go to work with a bag over your head?
