SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Getting accurate, up-to-date Azure pricing requires navigating the pricing calculator or documentation manually. This Skill queries the public Azure Retail Prices API directly to return real-time retail prices for any service, SKU, or region, and estimates Copilot Studio credit consumption for agent workloads. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Real-time price lookup: Query the Azure Retail Prices API (no authentication required) with OData filters by service name, region, SKU, and price type, including savings plan data. - Cost estimation: Convert unit prices into monthly and annual estimates using documented formulas for VMs, Functions, Storage, Cosmos DB, SQL Database, AKS, and Azure OpenAI. - Copilot Studio credit estimation: Calculate Copilot Credit consumption for agents based on users, interactions, knowledge sources, and tool usage, with cached billing rates as a fallback. - Use Case: Ask "How much does a Standard_D4s_v5 VM cost in East US per month?" and receive a table with pay-as-you-go, reservation, and savings plan pricing with monthly estimates. ## Quick Start Ask how much a specific Azure service SKU costs in a given region and request a monthly cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-pricing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I look up Azure VM pricing by region?▼

Query the Azure Retail Prices API with an OData filter combining armSkuName, armRegionName, and priceType. For example, filter armSkuName eq 'Standard_D4s_v5' and armRegionName eq 'eastus' and priceType eq 'Consumption' to get pay-as-you-go rates.

How to estimate Copilot Studio credits for an agent?▼

Multiply total sessions (users times monthly interactions) by the applicable billing rates: 1 credit per classic response, 2 per generative answer, 10 per tenant graph grounding, and 5 per agent action. One Copilot Credit equals $0.01 USD.

Does the Azure Retail Prices API require authentication?▼

No, the Azure Retail Prices API at prices.azure.com is public and requires no authentication. It only needs outbound HTTPS access, and api-version 2023-01-01-preview should be used to include savings plan data.

Why does my Azure pricing query return empty results?▼

Empty results usually come from overly restrictive filters or incorrect serviceName capitalization, since the field is case-sensitive. Broaden the filter by removing priceType or region constraints, or filter by serviceFamily first to discover valid service names.

Can I compare reservation and savings plan pricing against pay-as-you-go?▼

Yes, filter by priceType 'Reservation' for reserved instances and check the savingsPlan array in each response item for 1-year and 3-year savings plan rates. Savings percentage is calculated as (PAYG price minus reserved price) divided by PAYG price.
