Batch pricing
Cloud-scale job scheduling and compute management
- No upfront cost
- No termination fees
- Per-second billing
Azure Batch provides job scheduling and cluster management, allowing applications or algorithms to run in parallel at scale.
There’s no charge for Batch itself, only the underlying compute and other resources consumed to run your batch jobs, including applicable software license costs. For compute, Cloud Services, Linux Virtual Machines, or Windows Virtual Machines can be utilized by Batch. The standard rates for compute apply and can be viewed below and software licensing costs for batch graphics and rendering are available below. In addition, Batch allows low-priority virtual machines (VMs) to be used. Reserved Virtual Machine Instances are available when using the Azure Batch Service in User subscription pool application mode.
Low-priority VMs in Batch
Low-priority VMs are available for a much lower price than normal VMs and can significantly reduce the costs of running certain workloads, or allow much more work to be performed at a greater scale for the same cost. However, low-priority VMs do have different characteristics and are only suitable for certain types of applications and workloads. Low-priority VMs are allocated from surplus capacity and therefore availability varies—at times VMs may not be available to allocate, and allocated VMs may occasionally be preempted by higher-priority allocations. The availability SLA for normal VMs therefore does not apply to low-priority VMs.
If applications can tolerate interruption, then use of low-priority VMs can significantly lower compute costs. Suitable workloads include batch processing and HPC jobs, where the work is split into many asynchronous tasks. If VMs are pre-empted, then tasks can be interrupted and rerun—job completion time can also increase if capacity drops. Low-priority VMs are initially only available through Azure Batch, which provides job scheduling and resource management for batch processing workloads. Azure Batch pools can contain both normal and low-priority VMs. If low-priority VMs are pre-empted, then any interrupted tasks will be requeued, and the pool will automatically attempt to replace the lost capacity.
Virtual machines are billed per-second rounded down to the last minute.
US government entities are eligible to purchase Azure Government services from a licensing solution provider with no upfront financial commitment, or directly through a pay-as-you-go online subscription.
Important—The price in R$ is merely a reference; this is an international transaction and the final price is subject to exchange rates and the inclusion of IOF taxes. An eNF will not be issued.
Azure Germany is available to customers and partners who have already purchased this, doing business in the European Union (EU), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), and in the United Kingdom (UK). It provides data residency in Germany with additional levels of control and data protection. You can also sign up for a free Azure trial.

Extreme Memory Optimized
These new VM sizes are optimized for database workloads like SQL Server or Oracle that often require high memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth, but not a high CPU core count. They constrain the VM vCPU count to reduce the cost of software licensing, all while maintaining the same memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth. The licensing charged for SQL Server or Oracle will be constrained to the active vCPU count while the compute cost, which includes OS licensing, remains the same one as the original size based on “underlying vCPU”. These new VM sizes allow customer workloads to use the same memory, storage, and I/O bandwidth while optimizing their software licensing cost.

Graphics and rendering application licensing
Azure Batch pools can optionally be configured with graphics and rendering applications installed, where the application licensing is handled by Batch and the application costs are billed by Batch alongside the VM costs. As with the VM costs, the applications are charged per minute for the lifetime of each VM. See the Azure Batch documentation for more information on rendering using Azure Batch.
Note that application costs are not discounted for low-priority VMs, only the VM costs are discounted.
