We support a wide variety of virtual machine sizes. Virtual machines are billed on per-minute basis.
Virtual Machines are supported in both a Basic and Standard tier. The Basic tier provides an economical option for dev/test workloads, and other applications that don’t require load-balancing, auto-scaling, or memory-intensive virtual machines. The Standard tier is our recommended option for all production workloads.

General purpose compute: Basic tier
An economical option for development workloads, test servers, and other applications that don't require load balancing, auto-scaling, or memory-intensive virtual machines.

Optimized compute: 60% faster CPUs, more memory, and local SSD
D-series virtual machines feature solid state drives (SSDs) and 60% faster processors than the A-series and are also available for web or worker roles in Azure Cloud Services. This series is ideal for applications that demand faster CPUs, better local disk performance, or higher memories.
We have a new variant of the D-series sizes called “DS” that are specifically targeted for Premium Storage. The pricing and billing meters for the DS sizes are the same as D-series.
Through March 31, 2015 we will charge for D-Series Virtual Machines at US South Central rates for all available regions. Prices listed below will be effective starting April 1, 2015.

GB is represented using 1024^3 bytes sometimes referred to as Gibibyte, or base 2 definition. When comparing sizes that use different base systems, remember that base 2 sizes may appear smaller than base 10 but for any specific size, a base 2 system provides more capacity than a base 10 system, because 1024^3 is greater than 1000^3 The Australia Regions are available only to customers with billing addresses in Australia and New Zealand.

Optimized compute: 60% faster CPUs, more memory, and local SSD
D-series virtual machines feature solid state drives (SSDs) and faster processors than the A-series and are also available for web or worker roles in Azure Cloud Services. This series is ideal for applications that demand faster CPUs, better local disk performance, or higher memories.
We have a new variant of the D-series sizes called “DS” that are specifically targeted for Premium Storage. The pricing and billing meters for the DS sizes are the same as D-series.
Through March 31, 2015 we will charge for D-Series Virtual Machines at US South Central rates for all available regions. Prices listed below will be effective starting April 1, 2015.

GB is represented using 1024^3 bytes sometimes referred to as Gibibyte, or base 2 definition. When comparing sizes that use different base systems, remember that base 2 sizes may appear smaller than base 10 but for any specific size, a base 2 system provides more capacity than a base 10 system, because 1024^3 is greater than 1000^3 The Australia Regions are available only to customers with billing addresses in Australia and New Zealand.

Linux support
Support for certain Linux virtual machine images in the Azure Marketplace is available from the publisher. In some cases, it’s provided by the publisher for free. In other cases, we charge by the minute for the right to receive support. The total charge for running a Linux VM is the support rate (if applicable) plus the Linux compute rate. Microsoft does not provide support for Linux images in the Azure Marketplace.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) images
Azure Virtual Machines can be deployed from SLES Basic and SLES Premium images available in the Azure Marketplace. Customers who deploy SLES Basic images are entitled to receive patching from SUSE for those VMs at no additional charge over the compute rates. Customers who deploy SLES Premium images are entitled to receive both patching and telephone and email support from SUSE for those VMs at the support rates listed below.

The Azure Marketplace offers several options for deploying Oracle software on a Virtual Machine (VM). Pricing depends on the option you choose.
License-included VMs
License-included Oracle virtual machines are Windows Server VMs with Oracle software preinstalled. The license for these VMs is provided by Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. (MS Open Tech), a subsidiary of Microsoft Corp., under agreement with Oracle. When you choose this option, we charge separately for the Oracle software and the Windows Server virtual machines it runs on. The hourly rates shown here are just for the Oracle software license and don’t include the cost of underlying Windows Server VMs. We bill for virtual machines by the minute.

If you use an image that contains a combination of Oracle software, we’ll charge you for the combined rate. For example, the hourly cost of Oracle WebLogic Server (Enterprise Edition) and Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition) on a 1-core virtual machine is $4.44 USD ($1.28 + $3.16).
Free trial, MSDN, BizSpark, and Microsoft Partner Network member benefits (monetary credits) don’t apply to license-included Oracle images, which are billed separately. Also, if you are on 6 or 12-Month Purchase Plan, your commitment balance can be used for Oracle license charges until June 30, 2014. Afterwards, license charges for the Oracle software provided by MS Open Tech will be billed separately and won’t be discounted (consistent with all third-party products).
Bring-Your-Own-License VMs
Another option in the Azure Marketplace is Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) Oracle images, which are Oracle Linux VMs with Oracle software preinstalled.
BYOL Oracle images don’t include a license. If you deploy a BYOL Oracle image, you must have obtained license rights from Oracle or its authorized distributor. We charge only for the BYOL Linux VMs that the Oracle software runs on, not for the Oracle software itself (see pricing details under the "Linux" tab), so the prices shown here don’t apply.
Oracle License Mobility Policy
The prices shown here also don’t apply to Oracle software you install on any virtual machine under the Oracle License Mobility program. Oracle provides license mobility for customers who have already obtained a license from Oracle and want to run that software on Azure. To take advantage of this program, simply deploy a Windows Server or Linux VM and install your licensed Oracle software. For information, see the Oracle Cloud Licensing Policy.
IP address options
Every Azure Virtual Machine is automatically assigned a free Virtual IP (VIP) address. For an additional charge, you can also get:
- Instance-level Public IP Addresses: Make a virtual machine directly addressable by assigning it a public IP (PIP) address.
- Reserved IP Addresses: You can also reserve static public IP addresses for your virtual machine.
