How does Microsoft Azure make money?
Azure primarily makes its money by allowing customers to pay based on consumed services, products, and resources on the cloud.
How much do Azure services cost?
Due to the number of services available, the cost of Azure varies enormously depending on which parts of it a business decides to use, and how much they actually use it.
There are no upfront costs involved with Azure, and customers only pay for what they use, with many services charged by the hour.
For example, Azure App Service, which allows users to create powerful cloud-based apps for web and mobile, starts from $0.013 per hour. Using Azure’s managed relational SQL database as a service costs $0.021 per hour. Both of these, like many of Azure’s services, are free for the first 12 months.
Some services, such as REST-based “blob” storage for unstructured data, are charged according to data usage, rather than time; blob storage costs $0.002 per gigabyte, with 5GB free for the first 12 months.
Other services are charged by the number of executions a user performs through Azure; the Functions service costs $0.20 per million executions, with the first million free every month.
