Get pricing for Microsoft Azure
Azure pricing is dynamic, and it changes frequently. Prices also differ by market and currency. The Azure rate card takes these facts into consideration and predicts the monthly bill for the partner and customers. This guide will show you how to get Azure rate card details programmatically using the following options
- .NET SDK
- Java SDK
- PowerShell
- REST API
.NET SDK
To obtain the Azure rate card, call the IAzureRateCard.Get method to return an AzureRateCard resource that contains the Azure prices.
// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
var azureRateCard = partnerOperations.RateCards.Azure.Get();
Java SDK
To obtain the Azure rate card, call the IPartner.getRateCards().getAzure function to return an AzureRateCard resource that contains the Azure prices.
// IPartner partnerOperations;
AzureRateCard azureRateCard = partnerOperations.getRateCards().getAzure().get("" , "");
PowerShell
To retrieve an Azure rate card by using PowerShell, run the following commands. The command to run differs depending on whether you want a rate card for the default context or a specific currency and region.
Get-PartnerAzureRateCard
# Gets the Azure rate card details in the specified currency and region.
Get-PartnerAzureRateCard -Currency 'USD' -Region 'US'
# Gets the Azure rate card details for Azure Partner Shared Services
Get-PartnerAzureRateCard -SharedServices
Review the get-PartnerAzureRateCard help for more information.
REST API
Important
Azure Resource RateCard API is not available for Azure CSP subscriptions. Azure Rate Card should be accessed through Partner Center API instead.
