Azure Dev Test Subscription Pricing and Plans

Azure Dev Test Subscription Pricing and Plans are designed to help you develop and test applications in a cost-effective way.

There are several pricing plans to choose from, including Pay-As-You-Go, Reserved Instances, and Spot Virtual Machines.

Pay-As-You-Go pricing allows you to only pay for the resources you use, which can help you save money.

Reserved Instances offer a discounted rate for committed usage, which can be a good option if you need consistent access to resources.

Spot Virtual Machines provide a highly discounted rate for unused capacity, but you'll need to be prepared to scale up or down as needed.

It's worth noting that the cost of each plan will depend on the resources you use, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking.

To set up an Azure subscription based on the Enterprise Dev/Test offer, you'll need to designate an Enterprise Administrator with access to the Azure Enterprise Portal.

They'll assign users as Account Owners via the portal, who can then create Azure subscriptions under the EA.

These Account Owners must select the “Dev/Test” option for the Account Owner when creating the subscription.

After creating the subscription via the Azure Account Portal, the Account Owner should assign appropriate roles to active Visual Studio subscribers.

You can also try Azure for free, getting popular services free for 12 months and 55+ other services free always, plus a $200 credit to use in your first 30 days.

Azure Dev/Test pricing offers significant discounts for nonproduction workloads, saving up to 57 percent for a typical web app dev/test environment running SQL Database and App Service.

Azure Dev/Test pricing is available exclusively to active Visual Studio subscribers, who can use resources within this subscription for developing and testing applications. There's no uptime guarantee, but your discounted rates will continue as long as you maintain your Visual Studio subscription.
