How Microsoft Azure calculate price for using Azure SQL server?
Am using Azure for student for free $100. And I got database server disabled because I've almost reach $100. So I want to know How Microsoft Azure calculate price for using Azure SQL server?.
Azure SQL Server pricing depends on
Compute: You pay for the virtual cores (vCores) or DTUs you use.
Storage: Charged based on the amount of data and backup storage.
Licensing: Extra cost if you don’t have your own SQL Server license.
Extras: Features like geo-replication or high availability add costs.
Your free $100 ran out because your database used compute, storage, and backups, which can add up fast. You can lower costs by using smaller databases or cheaper pricing tiers.
