Cloud services such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure have different prices depending on the machine specifications and storage capacity of the instances used. Nemanja Mijailovic , a Microsoft engineer, is examining the maximum amount charged when using Microsoft Azure.

According to cloud economist Corey Quinn , Mijailovic began testing: `` db.r5.24xlarge for enterprise multi-AZ Microsoft SQL Server with region set to Bahrain costs 311 $ 8,367 (about 340 million yen). ' As a Microsoft Azure user, Mijailovic said he wanted to compete with AWS at the highest price.



The first thing that comes to mind is how to contract for a large, expensive machine. Mijailovic checked the amount of the three-year plan of Standard_M416ms_v2 equipped with 416 virtual CPUs and 11.4 TB of RAM provided by Azure, but it only charges 800,028 euros (about 95 million yen) To the result. The 71% discount is another barrier to reaching the highest price.



Next, looking at the amount of usage when renting 1 PB (1024 TB) of storage for 3 years with

Blob Storage , an Azure storage service, it is 1,642,100 euros (about 195 million yen), AWS's It is a little closer to 340 million yen.



Databricks , the data analytics service's most expensive plan, was 3,318,744 euros (about 380 million yen), and finally succeeded in exceeding AWS's highest price. 'I have no idea what the service is, but it's definitely very expensive, and that's what I need,' Mijailovic commented.



Mijailovic uses the distributed database

Cosmos DB and knew that Cosmos DB was very expensive, so when trying to check the amount of the most expensive plan of Cosmos DB, `` I can not pay with a credit card 'Was displayed.



If you calculate the price with the Pricing calculator provided by Microsoft, it will be a calculated result of 9,948,824 dollars (about 1 billion yen). It seems that this was the most expensive plan that Mr. Mijailovic could confirm.



If you set the storage capacity to 999 PB with Blob Storage, the usage amount was displayed as 812,257,972 euros (about 95 billion yen), but because you could not actually proceed to the purchase screen, Mr. Mijailovic's It has been excluded from the verification results.



Mijailovic commented, 'You can challenge yourself to the highest price for cloud services and tell me the results.'
