Choose from flexible pricing options

Our open source commitment extends to our flexible pricing options. Move to the cloud at your pace and choose a pricing model that works for you. For development and testing, you can provision and discard ephemeral Linux virtual machines and pay by the minute—only for what you use. With the Azure Compute pre-purchase plan, if you have steady state workloads with known compute needs, you can pre-purchase Azure compute capacity with discounts of up to 56 percent.
