Hello, I'm completely new to Azure. I am trying to download a dataset using opendatasets. I created one cluster and I was notified that I should upgrade to standard support option to download the opendatasets library. So I paid 100 dollars for the monthly subscription for standard support. One thing that confuses me is whether I am paying additional charges under pay as you go system or I am just covered under standard support option. I worry that I'm paying something additional that I do not desire to pay under pay as you go. Can I think of the standard support option as a fixed cost and I should be fine using databricks regardless of how long or how much large data I retrieve? Thanks.

    Hi,

    It seems you selected Standard Support Option and basically Standard support is for small- or mid-size companies with minimal business-critical dependence on Azure. The support option provides you below features:

    Can you check the options you get when you select the Dataset in the pricing page, I do not believe it is mandatory to buy a standard support.

    Hope this helps.
