Azure Pay-As-You-Go (per-second billing for Linux VMs, regional pricing)

Quake AI concept: Pricing

  • Azure bills Linux VMs per second; pricing is not included in the VM size API and requires the Azure Retail Prices API (GET https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices) or the Pricing Calculator.
  • Azure Hybrid Benefit allows using on-premises Windows Server and SQL Server licenses to reduce Azure VM costs; no equivalent in OpenStack.
  • Azure pricing includes Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers for many services (load balancers, public IPs) with different SLAs per tier. Quake AI uses a flat pricing model without service tiers.
  • Azure reserved instances (1-year or 3-year commitments) offer up to 72% discount vs. on-demand. Quake AI does not currently offer reserved capacity pricing.
