Note

The Cloud Partner Portal APIs are integrated with and will continue working in Partner Center. The transition introduces small changes. Review the changes listed in Cloud Partner Portal API Reference to ensure your code continues working after transitioning to Partner Center. CPP APIs should only be used for existing products that were already integrated before transition to Partner Center; new products should use Partner Center submission APIs.

There are three ways to specify pricing for virtual machine offers: customized core pricing, per-core pricing, and spreadsheet pricing.

Customized core pricing

Pricing is specific for each region and core combination. Every region in the sell list must be specified in the virtualMachinePricing/regionPrices section of the definition. Use the correct currency codes for each region in your request. The following example demonstrates these requirements:

    "virtualMachinePricing": 
    {
        ... 
        "coreMultiplier": 
        {
            "currency": "USD",
                "individually": 
                {
                    "sharedcore": 1,
                    "1core": 2,
                    "2core": 2,
                    "4core": 2,
                    "6core": 2,
                    "8core": 2,
                    "10core": 4,
                    "12core": 4,
                    "16core": 4,
                    "20core": 4,
                    "24core": 4,
                    "32core": 6,
                    "36core": 6,
                    "40core": 6,
                    "44core": 6,
                    "48core": 10,
                    "60core": 10,
                    "64core": 10,
                    "72core": 10,
                    "80core": 12,
                    "96core": 12,
                    "120core": 15,
                    "128core": 15,
                    "208core": 20,
                    "416core": 30
                }
        }
        ...
     }

Per-core pricing

In this case, the publishers specify one price in USD for their SKU and all other prices are automatically generated. The price per core is specified in the single parameter in the request.

     "virtualMachinePricing": 
     {
         ...
         "coreMultiplier": 
         {
             "currency": "USD",
             "single": 1.0
         }
     }

Spreadsheet pricing

The publisher can also upload their pricing spreadsheet to a temporary storage location, then include the URI in the request like other file artifacts. The spreadsheet is then uploaded, translated to evaluate the specified price schedule, and finally updates the offer with the pricing information. Subsequent GET requests for the offer will return the spreadsheet URI and the evaluated prices for the region.

     "virtualMachinePricing": 
     {
         ...
         "spreadSheetPricing": 
         {
             "uri": "https://blob.storage.azure.com/<your_spreadsheet_location_here>/prices.xlsx",
         }
     }

New core sizes added on 7/2/2019

VM publishers were notified on July 2, 2019 of the addition of new prices for new Azure virtual machine sizes (based on the number of cores). The new prices are for the core sizes 10, 44, 48, 60, 120, 208, and 416. For existing VM offers new prices for these cores sizes were automatically calculated based on current prices. Publishers have until August 1, 2019 to review the additional prices and make any desired changes. After this date, if not already re-published by the publisher, the automatically calculated prices for these new core sizes will take effect.
