Azure Batch Service billing

Question

Hi, I have several questions about Azure Batch Service billing.

• Is there any way to get a price for VM I want to create, programmatically, through Azure SDK?
• The price for VM I want is 5$ per hour. If I'll remove VM after 20 minutes of using it, what price I'll need to pay? Per hour or per 20 minutes?
• And when I'll need to pay that price? At the end of the month or after removing VM?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Regarding #2:

VMs (compute capacities) are charged per second.
You example: 5$ x 20 minutes (1/3 hours) = 1,67$

Regarding #3:
You will be charged at the end of the billing period.
