Announcing Azure's per minute billing
- vyrotek 13y agoYES! SSL Support with Web Sites!
- patja 13y agoThe title on this submission is much more narrow than the changes announced and the original article title "Windows Azure: Announcing New Dev/Test Offering, BizTalk Services, SSL Support with Web Sites, AD Improvements, Per Minute Billing" This is really a case of the left hand giving while the right hand takes away. Prior to this change you could use your MSDN benefits to run a production site. Now if they see stuff running more than 150 hours that is using the MSDN Azure credits or reduced pricing they will shut it down. I guess it makes sense...MSDN is a developer program and not a general partner program. Still stings to have benefits taken away, and to what end? Why? I was literally about to pull the trigger on a new MSDN subscription and migrate a couple Windows Server VMs to Azure, based partly on the premise of using the MSDN Azure benefits for production. Now...not so much.
