Event details
SCUs are a variable unit of measure that take into account the type of prompts, data that needs reasoned in an incident or prompt, as well as full session context and other elements. The best way to estimate and see this is in the usage monitoring dashboard within the Copilot for Security standalone portal.
Thanks for the detailed explanation in the video. As a follow-up, what is the min recommended SCU we need to provision to start exploring the capabilities? Also, is it Pay-as-you-Go like if I use it for say 5 hours a day then will only be charged for that usage, or we need to pay for the entire month?
- You pay for a SCU like you pay for a running VM. You don't pay for the workload running, but for provisioning a SCU to be ready to do some work for you. You cannot scale down to 0 SCUs (not at the moment, may be later), but you can delete the Azure resource after your work and create a new one next day. That can be automated, but I don't know the API to assign that Azure resource representing your SCUs to Copilot for Security - so for me, this is a manual step.
