How am I billed for my Azure charges?

Billing for Azure is handled through CloudCheckr. Invoices are sent out monthly.

What will Azure cost me? Does Cornell get any discounts in Azure?

The list cost for each service at Azure can be seen here : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

Cornell does receive a discount by virtue of having an Enterprise Agreement (EA) with Microsoft. Any subscription that is under our EA automatically receives the discount. The discount percentage is variable based on the service. We don't have a good way to show the exact EA pricing for each Azure service vs. the list pricing that is available above. A member of the Cloud Team can help you with your specific, EA, pricing.
