Microsoft is releasing a new way to buy Azure services, called Azure savings plan for compute, through partners in the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program, Microsoft Customer Agreement purchasing motions, and the Enterprise Agreement.
Azure savings plan for compute is an easy and flexible way for customers to save up to 65 percent on compute services compared to pay-as-you-go prices. The savings plan unlocks lower prices on compute services when customers commit to spend a fixed hourly amount for one or three years. They may choose whether to pay all upfront or monthly at no extra cost. As they use participating compute services anywhere in the world, their usage is covered by the plan at reduced prices, helping them get more value from their cloud budget.
