Manage Azure savings plans

  • Стаття

After you buy an Azure savings plan, with sufficient permissions, you can make the following types of changes to a savings plan:

  • Update a savings plan scope.
  • Change autorenewal settings.
  • View savings plan details and utilization.
  • Delegate savings plan role-based access control (RBAC) roles.

Except for autorenewal, none of the changes causes a new commercial transaction or changes the end date of the savings plan.

You can't make the following types of changes after purchase:

  • Hourly commitment
  • Term length
  • Billing frequency

Note

A billing administer can fully manage savings plans. However, after purchase, a savings plan’s directory can’t get changed.

To learn more, see Savings plan permissions. Permission needed to manage a savings plan is separate from subscription permission.

Change the savings plan scope

Your hourly savings plan benefit is to automatically use from savings plan-eligible resources that run in the savings plan's benefit scope. To learn more, see Savings plan scopes. Changing a savings plan's benefit scope doesn't alter the savings plan's term.

To update a savings plan scope as a billing administrator:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal and go to Cost Management + Billing.
    • If you're an Enterprise Agreement admin, on the left menu, select Billing scopes. Then in the list of billing scopes, select one.
    • If you're a Microsoft Customer Agreement billing profile owner, on the left menu, select Billing profiles. In the list of billing profiles, select one.
  2. On the left menu, select Products + services > Savings plans. The list of savings plans for your Enterprise Agreement enrollment or billing profile appears.
  3. Select the savings plan you want.
  4. Select Settings > Configuration.
  5. Change the scope.

If you purchased/were added to a savings plan, or were assigned savings plan RBAC roles, follow these steps to update a savings plan scope.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Select All Services > Savings plans to list savings plans to which you have access.
  3. Select the savings plan you want.
  4. Select Settings > Configuration.
  5. Change the scope.

Selectable scopes must be from Enterprise offers (MS-AZR-0017P or MS-AZR-0148P), Microsoft Customer Agreements, and Microsoft Partner Agreements.

If you aren't a billing administrator and you change from shared to single scope, you can only select a subscription where you're the owner. Only subscriptions within the same billing account/profile as the savings plan can be selected.

If all subscriptions are moved out of a management group, the scope of the savings plan is automatically changed to Shared.

Change the auto-renewal setting
