1. Identify the dataset structure and major sections
Locate the workbook’s comparison layout, distinguish plan columns such as Classic, TGS ELM, and Recommended, and recognize that the file combines a large feature/permission comparison area with an Azure pricing estimate section and billing summary.
- 2 2. Read Azure pricing line items and cost fields Interpret individual Azure estimate rows by reading service name, region, configuration details, and cost columns; practice with examples such as Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Database for MySQL, VPN Gateway, Azure DNS, Azure DDoS Protection, Azure Firewall Manager, and Storage Accounts.
- 3 3. Compare plans and options using consistent dimensions Use the workbook’s side-by-side comparison pattern to analyze availability and recommendations across dimensions like Audio Capture, Content, Email, Homepages, IMS Configuration, Role Switch, and other feature rows, noting values such as Available, Not available, No, and recommendation text.
- 4 4. Perform a practical analysis workflow from row review to total estimate Follow a repeatable workflow: scan categories, extract key comparison rows, review nonzero Azure cost drivers, verify region/configuration assumptions, read the total billing amount, and apply the pricing disclaimer that the estimate is a summary in USD rather than a formal quote.
