Personalize your experience

Use fine-grained access control

Role-based access control lets you select exactly who can manage what. Grant explicit management and access rights to the account, service, and operation levels for individuals and groups.

Combine services to create amazingly powerful applications

Choose from more than 3,000 services delivered by Microsoft and our partners, many of them at no charge. Find open source applications, frameworks, and templates, as well as single and multiple virtual machine images. When you combine these with Azure services, you can create powerful solutions on your own faster and with less effort—for any device and any cloud—even manually or automatically scaling instance count to meet demand. Plus, see all your service usage on a single bill.

Gain visibility with no more billing blind spots

Now it’s easy to keep tabs on current and projected costs. The Azure portal automatically calculates your existing charges and forecasts your likely monthly charges—even if you’re managing hundreds of resources across several apps. Plus, it’s easy to see your cross-cloud analytics and real-time active use data when you enable monitoring and diagnostics and monitor service metrics , which helps you avoid billing surprises.

Get integrated support when and where you need it

Whether you need support because of an alert notification or you notice issues when you view events and audit logs , help is only a click away. Microsoft provides the full range of resources to help you get started and grow, including access to our communities and forums, specific troubleshooting information, and direct support from a world-class Azure support representative.
