Clarity on pricing change tracking
RobYoung Thanks for your question. Change tracking is a component of our configuration management service in Azure. It's free for Azure VMs but charged at $6 per server for Arc-enabled virtual machines. Keep in mind that the $6 includes Azure Policy Guest Configuration/Change Tracking and DSC - you can use one or all three, you will still be charged only $6 per server per node. Could you let me know the link where you see the $7 number? I am sharing screenshots below from the Automation and the Azure Arc pricing pages, both of which are consistently showing $6.

Good to know for for the change tracking and thanks for the clarification. I may consider for some of our critical nodes.
