Unclear pricing of Windows Azure Thank you smarx, I really appreciate this comment. I saw the warning, today, a bit late. It's easy to overlook the warning because in my mind the message just said: "warning, their are stopped instances" so I didn't really pay attention to it. The internet is a fast medium and you need to be fast to be productive. This requires that interfaces are intuitive and that I can trust on this. A big red "stopped" sign is not communicating: "you are using expensive resources". But I guess I don't have to persuade you :) Keep up the good work, I let you know whether I succeeded with customer support. |

Unclear pricing of Windows Azure I'll try to talk to customer support and try to persuade them to update the pricing page. If this topic isn't closed, I'll post updates. |

Unclear pricing of Windows Azure It's certainly ironic. I'll contact the customer support. |

Unclear pricing of Windows Azure "Should they have to dedicate a CPU then remove it every time you start and stop the instance?" Yes, that's what they should do. Why would you reserve a CPU for something that doesn't compute anything? The moment I start an instance should be the time that a CPU is reserved. If the running application doesn's serve any request, but is in RUNNING state, then they can charge me, that's fair because it technically needed because I want to serve a potential request ASAP. |

Unclear pricing of Windows Azure If you switch an instance from a "running" state to a "stopped" state, it is still an instance, but not a "compute instance" anymore, is it? |
