How Azure Works
- Overview
Azure VM Billing
- Azure Will Charge for the
- VM if the physical server has the resources attached to it. i.e. if you deallocate the vm (freeing server resources) then no charges for vm
- If your perform os shutdown from the vm, resources will not be deallocated so you will be still paying the hourly charges.
- A disk also gets attached to the virtual machine. In Azure you have two types of disks
- disks: They get allocated from a different physical host in the same datacenter. For this charges will continue until you delete the disk
- tempdisk: They get allocated from the same phyiscal host where the vm is allocated (for this no charges)
- disks: They get allocated from a different physical host in the same datacenter. For this charges will continue until you delete the disk
