Hi Grant, you might be one of the few people in history with the will power to attempt to use the calculator, I balked. My usage is small in comparison, about 60MB of Table rows and 3GB of Blobs, all with trivial IO counts. My recent account summaries show a cost of about $0.25/month for this data, so I'm guessing your low figures are in the right order of magnitude.
I also have a Basic Small App running my personal web site, which also has trivial hit rates and it costs $55/month. I recently deleted a tiny SQL database which had zero IO and was costing about $30/month. I restate my alarm over these costs, especially the Apps, which can add-up to frightening annual amounts which might dissuade small business from chucking out their own boxes and migrating to the cloud. *Greg* On 26 July 2016 at 15:45, Grant Molloy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi list.. > > Azure has always baffled me a bit with their pricing..
