Windows Virtual Machines
Windows Azure Virtual Machines enable you to deploy a custom Windows Server image. Virtual Machines give developers full control over the application environment and allow easy migration of existing applications to the cloud. A Windows-based Virtual Machine includes the licensing cost for Windows Server. Customers are charged discounted rates for Virtual Machines during preview. Compute hours do not include any Windows Azure Storage costs associated with the image running in Windows Azure Virtual Machines. These costs are billed separately. The prices on the calculator reflect the preview rates.
