Microsoft Azure Dev/Test Pricing — Save Up to 57% on Typical Dev/Test Workloads

Microsoft’s current Azure Dev/Test pricing program gives active Visual Studio subscribers discounted rates for non-production development and testing workloads. Microsoft cites savings up to 57% for a typical web-app dev/test environment using SQL Database and App Service, and publishes specific discounts such as up to 55% on SQL Database and 50% on Logic Apps Enterprise Connector. Windows and SQL Server virtual machines can receive licensing-related dev/test treatment under the program. The benefit has no production SLA and remains limited to qualifying non-production workloads while the Visual Studio subscription stays active.
