Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month fall on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the upcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current program/offer with Microsoft. Contact an Azure sales specialist for more information on pricing or to request a price quote. See frequently asked questions about Azure pricing.

  • No. Azure HPC Cache works with data stored in on-premises NAS and in Azure Blob. For more information, see the product documentation.
  • The fees above are for the HPC Cache service only. VMs and Azure Storage connected to HPC Cache will be charged separately.
  • Every job will incur both a Throughput and Cache Disk fee. The Cache Disk fee is for any cache storage associated with your workload. As long as the Cache is running you will be charged. If you stop the cache, which is a manual activity, you will still be charged cache disk costs but not the larger per-hour cache costs.
  • Each instance is charged for its data egress across regions.
  • No. Applicable taxes will be added separately.
