Hi list.. Azure has always baffled me a bit with their pricing.. I'm looking into something for my employer and looking at the costs here, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/ and trying to work out the cost of storing files starting from scratch..
So with this following scenario, can anyone confirm my pricing examples? So lets say I have 0 files in Azure to start with. If each month 5,000 5mb files are uploaded (giving approx 25.6GB of files at the end of the month), and each file is written only 1 time, but read 3 times. *BLOB storage *prices (from above link).. + Storage - GRS (COOL) - First 100TB/M $0.0382 (is prorata'd) + Access - GRS (COOL) - Put (/10,000) $0.2547 - Other (/10,000) $0.0127 - Retrieval (GB) $0.0127 - Write (GB) $0.0064 - GRS (GB) $0.1528 (geographical redundancy) Example: END OF FIRST MONTH Storage: 25.6/2 x ((0.0382/100)*0.025) NOTE: have halved data amount to give an average for the month, as you're not paying for the full 25.6GB of storage for the whole month. 12.8 * 0.00000955 = $ 0.00012224 Access: PUT: 0.2547/10k * 5k = $ 0.12735 READ: 25.6GB * 3 * 0.0127 = $ 0.97536 GRS: 25.6GB * 0.1528 = $ 3.91168 *$$ 5.01451224* END OF 2nd MONTH Storage: (25.6GB + 25.6/2) x ((0.0382/100)*(0.025+0.025/2)) 38.4GB x (0.000382 * 0.0375) 38.4GB x 0.000014325 = $ 0.00055008 Access: PUT: 0.2547/10k * 5k = $ 0.12735 READ: 25.6GB * 3 * 0.0127 = $ 0.97536 GRS: 25.6GB * 0.1528 = $ 3.91168 *$$ 5.01494008* *FILE storage* (prices from above link too) File Storage + Storage - GRS Per GB $0.1401 + Access - GRS - Put (/10k) $0.3821 - List (/10k) $0.1911 - Other (/10k) $0.0191 Example. END OF FIRST MONTH Storage: 25.6GB/2 x 0.1401 = $ 1.79 Put: (0.3821 / 10k * 5k) = $ 0.19 Read: (0.0191 / 10k * 5k) x 3 = $ 0.03 *$$ 2.01* END OF 2nd MONTH Storage: (25.6 + 25.6/2)GB x 0.1401 = $ 5.38 Put: (0.3821 / 10k * 5k) = $ 0.19 Read: (0.0191 / 10k * 5k) x 3 = $ 0.03 * $$ 5.60* Do these calculations look correct ??
