Associating Office 365 (Dev) Account with my Microsoft Azure Subscription

Question

Hey there, I'm wanting to set up an Azure subscription inside of my Microsoft 365 Developer Azure tenant. I have colleagues who have been able to set up pay-as-you-go Azure accounts as part of their developer program subscriptions, or at least associate their Dev account with their Azure account so that they can access the free E5 licenses included in the Program with their existing Azure tenant. My questions are as follows:

1. Is there a way to add resources to my 365 Developer Azure tenant? or
2. Is there a way to associate my 365 Developer Subscription account with an existing Azure tenant so that I might have access to the provided E5 licenses in this Azure directory?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Happy to provide any further clarification if needed. Thanks

Hello @Tom Stewart,

the Microsoft 365 E5 Developer subscription has the same licensing and features as a regular Microsoft 365 E5 subscription, except that inbound connectors for mailflow are not supported in Exchange Online and you cannot purchase additional services through your Client Administrator account. Any additional services (e.g. Azure) must be purchased using your personal/Enterprise account (e.g. {myusername}@{myorg}.com instead of admin@{mytestdomain}.onmicrosoft.com) and then moved to the subscription.
