Azure CSP Price Lists

[JASA1976]

I've downloaded the zip file for the Azure CSP pricing and the reserved instance pricing, but they both contain 2 spreadsheets. Which one are you supposed to use for costing out a solution?

For Example in this months is it "Azure RI CSP Commercial Price List - June, 2019" or "Azure Partner Shared Services RI Commercial Price List - June, 2019" for the reserved instance coss price for partners?

For Azure CSP the files are "Azure in Global CSP Price List -June 11 2019" and "Azure Partner Shared Services Global CSP Price List -June 11 2019"

Azure Partners Shared Services pricelist is when obtaining an Azure Subscription for your own internal partner use, not for selling RIs to a customer - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-solution-provider/overview/partner-shared-services

For end customer it is  "Azure RI CSP Commercial Price List".

The price is annual (1 year or 3 year) for RI - "Duration" column shows the unit - also aligned with the fact you would get billed for the shown 1- or 3-year amount at once. You can also see this by comparing 1 and 3 year pricing - if it would be monthly, the monthly costs for 3-year committment would be lower.

Also you can use the Azure pricing calculator to see CSP pricing and do calculation (this way you can also easily add license & storage costs in the calculation instead of combining info from multiple price lists). Just be sure to log in with the same account you use for CSP in Partner Center - and then you can choose pricing level at the bottom: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

Hi @JanoschUlmer , Wondering how does this work now with MCA. I do not see any CSP option now in the Calculator. Could you guide here please. 

[JanoschUlmer]

@knw7 : In order to see CSP option, you need to sign in in the calculator with your Partner Center account. However, for Azure Plan (=MCA) don't use CSP licensing program, since you will get the wrong pricing due to currency fx rate differences if you use non-USD currency - "CSP" in Azure Calculator is legacy Azure CSP pricing, "MCA" in Azure calculator is for Azure Plan pricing. 

Note also that MCA pricing will show retail pricing, as Partner you get Partner Earned Credit for most services, and this would need to be deducted from prices accordingly.

Hello Janosch,

could you please advise what is required user's permission to see the CSP pricing under Azure calculater as you mentioned here 

Also you can use the Azure pricing calculator to see CSP pricing and do calculation (this way you can also easily add license & storage costs in the calculation instead of combining info from multiple price lists). Just be sure to log in with the same account you use for CSP in Partner Center - and then you can choose pricing level at the bottom: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/

Only admin agent (and global admin of course). Unfortunately "sales agent" does not have access to pricing.

Also to confirm the price it gives you is the anual pricing and not monthly as its doesn't say.
