includedQuantity	Quantities of a specific service to which a customer is entitled to consume without incremental charges. Not available in the updated version of the price sheet.
marketPrice	The current list price for a given product or service. The price is without any negotiations and is based on your Microsoft Agreement type. For `PriceType` Consumption, marketPrice is reflected as the pay-as-you-go price. For `PriceType` Savings Plan, market price reflects the Savings plan benefit on top of pay-as-you-go price for the corresponding commitment term. For `PriceType` ReservedInstance, marketPrice reflects the total price of the one or three-year commitment.
meterId	Unique identifier for the meter.
meterCategory	Name of the classification category for the meter. For example, Cloud services, and Networking
meterName	Name of the meter. The meter represents the deployable resource of an Azure service.
meterSubCategory	Name of the meter subclassification category.
meterType	Name of the meter type.
meterRegion	Name of the region where the meter for the service is available. Identifies the location of the datacenter for certain services that are priced based on datacenter location.
priceType	Price type for a product. For example, an Azure resource has its pay-as-you-go rate with `priceType` as Consumption. If the resource is eligible for a savings plan, it also has its savings plan rate with another `priceType` as SavingsPlan. Other `priceTypes` include ReservedInstance.
Product	Name of the product accruing the charges. For example, Basic SQL DB vs Standard SQL DB.
productId	Unique identifier for the product whose meter is consumed.

tierMinimumUnits	Defines the lower bound of the tier range for which prices are defined. For example, if the range is 0 to 100, tierMinimumUnits would be 0.
unitOfMeasure	Identifies the units of measure for billing for the service. For example, compute services are billed per hour.
unitPrice	The per-unit price at the time of billing for a given product or service. It includes any negotiated discounts on top of the market price. For `PriceType` ReservedInstance, `unitPrice` reflects the total cost of the one or three-year commitment including discounts. Note: The unit price isn't the same as the effective price in usage details downloads when services have differential prices across tiers. If services have multi-tiered pricing, the effective price is a blended rate across the tiers and doesn't show a tier-specific unit price. The blended price or effective price is the net price for the consumed quantity spanning across the multiple tiers, where each tier has a specific unit price.
