Pricing - Linux Virtual Machines

Azure Virtual Machines gives you the flexibility of virtualisation for a wide range of computing solutions with support for Linux, Windows Server, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM, SAP and more. All current generation Virtual Machines include load balancing and auto-scaling at no cost. For optimal performance, we recommend pairing your Virtual Machines with Managed Disks. Standard egress charges apply.

Choose from the following payment options for Virtual Machines. Combine either option with the Azure Hybrid Benefit for additional savings.

Pay as you go

Pay for compute capacity by the second, with no long-term commitment or upfront payments. Increase or decrease compute capacity on demand. Start or stop at any time and only pay for what you use.

Recommended for:

Users who prefer the low cost and flexibility of Azure Virtual Machines.
Applications with short-term, spiky or unpredictable workloads that cannot be interrupted.
Applications being developed or tested on Azure Virtual Machines for the first time.

Reserved Virtual Machine Instances

An Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instance is an advanced purchase of a Virtual Machine for one or three years in a specified region. The commitment is made up front and in return, you get up to 72 percent price savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing. Reserved Virtual Machine Instances are flexible and can easily be exchanged or returned.

Recommended for:

Applications with steady-state usage.
Customers who want budget predictability.
Customers who can commit to using a virtual machine (VM) over a one-year or three-year term to reduce computing costs.

Spot Pricing

Purchase unused compute capacity at deep discounts – up to 90 percent compared to pay as you go prices. *

If your workload can tolerate interruptions and its execution time is flexible, then using spot VMs can significantly reduce the cost of running your workload in Azure. Run your workloads on Virtual Machines or Virtual Machine Scale Sets.

* Actual discounts may vary based on region, VM type, and Azure compute capacity available when the workload is deployed.

Recommended for:

Customers who want to significantly lower their costs.
Interruptible applications. You can receive a notification 30 seconds in advance before your application is evicted.
Workloads that do not require completion within a predetermined timeframe or an SLA.

Balanced CPU-to-memory ratio. Ideal for testing and development, small to medium databases and low to medium traffic web servers.

Bs-series

Bs-series are economical virtual machines that provide a low-cost option for workloads that typically run at a low to moderate baseline CPU performance, but sometimes need to burst to significantly higher CPU performance when the demand rises. These workloads do not require the use of the full CPU all the time, but occasionally will need to burst to finish some tasks more quickly. Many applications such as development and test servers, low traffic web servers, small databases, micro services, servers for proof-of-concepts, build servers and code repositories fit into this model.

F-series

The F-series virtual machines feature 2-GiB RAM and 16 GiB of local SSD temporary storage per CPU core and are optimised for compute intensive workloads. The F-series sizes are based Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8272CL processor (second generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors), Intel® Xeon® 8171M 2.1GHz (Skylake), Intel® Xeon® E5-2673 v4 2.3 GHz (Broadwell) or the Intel® Xeon® E5-2673 v3 2.4 GHz (Haswell) processor. These virtual machines are suitable for scenarios like batch processing, web servers, analytics and gaming.

Persistent storage disks are billed separately from virtual machines. To use Premium SSDs disks, use the Fs-series VMs. The pricing and billing meters for Fs sizes are the same as F-series. See pricing for disks
