Cost Analysis

Important Information

As this tool spins up cloud resources, it will result in charges to your Azure or AWS account. Efforts have been made to minimize the costs incurred, but the tool author is not responsible for any charges or security issues that may result from usage of this tool. Be sure to tear down all resources when not using them.

Azure Cost Analysis

Use the Cost Analysis feature of Azure to measure the daily cost of the enabled resources. Here are some approximate figures with standing up a new subscription and resource group and then running BlueCloud. The approximate cost is $71.31 after running the lab for 7 days. Day 5 was the last day of the billing month, which might explain the increase at end of billing month.

1 day	$4.94
