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 autumn 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 forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/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.

Node (compute and memory)
Each Azure DocumentDB cluster has one or more nodes. As the performance needs of your MongoDB workload grow, you can vertically scale by upgrading your cluster tier to larger nodes with more compute and memory or horizontally scale by adding (sharding) additional nodes to your cluster.

|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1 | 2 | $- |
| M20 | 2 | 4 | $- |
| M25 | 2 (Burstable) | 8 | $- |
| M30 | 2 | 8 | $- |

High availability (Recommended)
Recommended for production. High availability (HA) avoids database downtime by maintaining standby replicas. HA can be disabled in dev/test scenarios to reduce the cost by 50%.
Backup Storage
Backup storage is the storage associated with automated backups of your Azure DocumentDB cluster. There is no additional charge for backups up to 35 days.
Bandwidth
Azure Networking bills for data that egresses the Azure cloud to a destination on the internet or transits the Azure WAN between regions, see Azure Networking Bandwidth Pricing.
