Hello,

I added a new AKS-HCI kubernetes cluster on premises to arc, and enabled defender for containers and installed the extensions in the cluster. but billing has still been 0 since 1 month.

can you explain why. given that it is stated that billing is based on resource usage?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi @Chelligue Hamza

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

    Azure Container Apps on Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes is free of charge during preview. This means that you will not be charged for using Azure Container Apps on Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes during the preview period. However, any Azure service that is used on Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes, such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud or Azure Monitor, will be charged as per the pricing for that service.

    If you are using any of these services, you will be charged for their usage. If you are not using any of these services, then you will not be charged.

    You can learn more about Defender for Container's pricing on the pricing page.
