Business value

Creating a new environment requires 1 GB of available capacity obtained with pre-paid licenses. This new capability will enable customers to opt for a pay-as-you-go model to pay for Dataverse usage by the environment instead of requiring 1 GB capacity.

Feature details

This feature will work as follows:

  1. Customers will create a billing policy in the Power Platform admin center using the Azure subscription of their choice.
  2. When creating a new environment, customers will specify that billing policy. When they do so, they won't be required to have 1 GB of available storage in their tenant before the environment can be created.
