Using Github Copilot from Azure Subscription
Just to add some clarification here — GitHub Copilot licensing can indeed be billed through your Azure subscription, not only through GitHub directly.
If you have a GitHub Enterprise Cloud account, you can connect an Azure subscription to it and have Copilot Business/Enterprise costs billed through Azure. The setup path is:
Enterprise or Organization → Settings → Billing & Licensing → Payment information → "Metered billing via Azure" → Add Azure Subscription.
For customers under a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, you can also connect your Azure subscription ID to your enterprise account to enable and pay for GitHub Copilot through Azure.
