Configuring A Pay-As-You-Go Pricing Profile

The Billing solution comes with a pre-loaded pricing profile called as ‘Azure-Stack-Base’ that contains the meters of different resources providers. To create a new pricing profile, click the pre-loaded profile and click on the clone button.

Configuring Prices for Resource Meters

1. Click the ‘Open’ button.

1. Click on the desired resource meter.

1. It is enough to specify the ‘Monthly Unit Price’ and setting the ‘Enable Meter?’ to ‘Yes’.

2. Click the ‘Save’ button.

Use of Minimum Monthly Fee

Minimum monthly fee for meter will be applied if the total usage cost for the month is less than the value specified in 'Minimum Monthly Fee'.

Example:

Monthly Unit Price	Total Units / Month	Total Usage Cost (Monthly Unit Price * Total units)	Minimum Monthly Fee	Billable Cost (MAX [Total Usage Cost, Minimum Monthly fee])
$100	3 GB	$300	$500	$500
$100	7 GB	$700	$500	$700

Use of Hourly Unit Credits

The units specified in 'Hourly Unit Credits' will be deducted from the actual usage units before computing the cost.

Example:

Monthly Unit Price	Total Units / Month (1024 MB * 24 hrs *30 days)	Hourly Unit Credits	Total Units To Be Deducted (Hourly Unit Credits * 24 hrs * 30 days)	Billable Units ([Total Units / Month] – [Total units to be deducted])	Billable Cost (Monthly Unit Price * Billable Units)
$10	737,280 MB	24 MB	17,280 MB	720,000 MB	$7,200,000

Use of Formula

Formula are used to modify the units obtained from the raw usage data of resources before computing the price for the resource. There are two types of formula ‘Unit Formula’ and ‘Custom Formula’.

1. Unit Formula

It multiplies the units obtained from raw usage with the formula specified.

• It supports math expressions and operators such as ‘*’ and ‘/’.

• Operators should have space between them.

• Operations are executed from Left to Right.

• Brackets are not supported.

Example:

Raw Usage -Units	Unit Formula	Billable Units (Raw Usage Units * Unit Formula)
RAM – 1024 MB	1 / 1024	1 MB
RAM – 1024 MB	1	1024 MB

1. Custom Formula

It computes the units based on the formula specified.

• It supports math expressions and operators such as ‘*’, ‘/’, ‘+’ and ‘-’.

• Operators should have a space around them.

• Operations are executed as per Mathematical precedence.

• Brackets are supported, but spaces are to be given around them.

Example:

Raw Usage - Units	Custom Formula	Billable Units
RAM – 1024 MB	RAM / 1024	1 MB
RAM – 1024 MB	RAM - 24	1000 MB
RAM – 1024 MB	(RAM - 24) / 10	100 MB
RAM – 1024 MB	1	1 MB

Resource Condition

Resource condition is given to set different prices for the same metered resource based on the volume of raw usage units. This can be done by cloning a configured metered resource and setting a new monthly unit price for it.

Example:

ID	Meter Display name	Meter Id	Monthly Unit Price	Resource Condition (Meter Id and Units)
1	Table Capacity (Small)	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4	$ 0.018	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 < 3
2	Table Capacity (Medium)	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4	$ 0.05	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 > 3 && B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 < 10
3	Table Capacity (Large)	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4	$ 0.20	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 > 10 && B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 <= 50
4	Table Capacity (Very Large)	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4	$ 1.5	B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 >= 51

Note: Make sure comparison operator is prefixed and suffixed with space Example: B4438D5D-453B-4EE1-B42A-DC72E377F1E4 < 3 .

Use of Properties

Properties are like resource condition where different prices can be set for the same metered resource based on the property of resource (E.g. VMs, SQL DBs, etc.) which is reported in the raw usage records.

Example:

ID	Meter Display name	Meter Id	Monthly Unit Price	Property Key	Property Value
1	Windows Basic_A0	9CD92D4C-BAFD-4492-B278-BEDC2DE8232A	$ 30	AdditionalInfo_ServiceType	Basic_A0
2	Windows Basic_A4	9CD92D4C-BAFD-4492-B278-BEDC2DE8232A	$ 35	AdditionalInfo_ServiceType	Basic_A4
3	Windows Standard_A0	9CD92D4C-BAFD-4492-B278-BEDC2DE8232A	$ 50	AdditionalInfo_ServiceType	Standard_A0
4	Windows Standard_DS5_v2	9CD92D4C-BAFD-4492-B278-BEDC2DE8232A	$ 100	AdditionalInfo_ServiceType	Standard_DS5_v2
