Microsoft Azure Cloud Computing Payment Plan Comparison Dataset

This study pack provides an Excel workbook containing the quantitative cost data needed to compare Microsoft Azure pay-as-you-go versus one-year reserved payment plans. The dataset supplies the dollar amounts and pricing details required for a brief cost-analysis memo that evaluates annual cost differences, quantifies the savings or premiums of each option, and supports a recommendation. It serves as a worked teaching example of cloud-cost modeling and decision analysis for IT management and cloud-computing courses.
