Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Connecting to non-Azure data services may result in additional charges. 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 programme/offer with Microsoft.

-
Yes. The usage records are processed for billing in any environment where Azure IoT Operations is installed.
-
No. You're only billed for the nodes which execute Azure IoT Operations workloads. For example, based on a three node cluster, where Azure IoT Operations only runs on two nodes, the licensing cost for Azure IoT Operations is two billable nodes. Node utilisation by workloads on Kubernetes is based on many factors such as capacity, workload processing and memory demands based on throughput, and cluster configuration.
-
No. The pricing model is pay-as-you-go and hourly prorated. You're only billed for the hourly use of Azure IoT Operations for that month.
-
The easiest way to ensure that your Azure IoT Operations bill doesn't exceed your monthly expectations, is to install it on a cluster with a fixed and known node count.
