Azure Container Storage is a cloud-based volume management, deployment, and orchestration service built natively for containers. This article describes the billing and pricing model for Azure Container Storage.
Important
This article applies to Azure Container Storage (version 2.x.x). For earlier versions, see Azure Container Storage (version 1.x.x) documentation. For information about billing for prior releases, see this article.
Azure Container Storage doesn’t add any service or orchestration fees. You only pay for the underlying storage you choose. Local NVMe is included in your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) virtual machine pricing. Azure Elastic SAN is billed at its standard resource rates.
