Azure Stream Analytics. Pricing

I am looking at pricing information for Azure Stream Analytics using the Azure Pricing Calculator: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/#stream-analytics378d63b3-303d-4548-afd0-bac5d4249611

I says that it cost 80 USD for 1 month (730 hours).

Is this the idle price?

If i don't send any data to Steam Analytics I will be charged 80 USD a month for having the service deployed. Correct?

Then op top of that I pay for my actual usage in form of streaming units, where a streaming unit, according to the FAQ, is a blend of compute, memory, and throughput.

Solution

  • As a cloud service, Stream Analytics is optimized for cost. There are no upfront costs involved - you only pay for the streaming units you consume, and the amount of data processed. There is no commitment or cluster provisioning required, and you can scale the job up or down based on your business needs.

    While creating stream Analytics Job, if you created a Stream Analytics job with streaming units = 1, it will be billed $0.11/hour.

    enter image description here

    If you created a Stream Analytics job with streaming units with N, it will be billed $0.11 * N/hour.

    Hope this helps. If you have any further query do let us know.
