Hi,
I was following along the steps in in this MSDN video
https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/DevRadio/Azure-DevOps-with-Visual-Studio-Online-Part-2-Creating-DevTest-VMs-in-Azure
and this site
https://blog.codingoutloud.com/2014/01/31/stupid-azure-trick-3-create-a-dev-virtual-machine-in-windows-azure-2/
which led me to the Azure pricing page
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/member-offers/msdn-benefits/
My question specifically was, from these sites, it looks like there was some discounted pricing for Dev-Test VMs, which is what I will be using the VMs for. The client that I worked at, had an MSDN subscription (VS Enterprise), through which I activated Azure benefits.
Going through the steps in the blog and the video: while on the Azure portal webpage, when I click on Virtual Machines, it brings me to a Compute screen, with a variety of options underneath. However, the video/blog go through 'Compute'->'Virtual Machines'->'Fom Gallery'/'Quick Create' options. And on the next screen a 'MSDN' subscription checkbox, which apparently would show some additional images. My questions were...
a. Since the options are well different for me and I do not see any MSDN checkbox, am I missing something? Or is it just a changed interface, and since I'm logged into my MSDN account, I do not need to check any boxes?
b. Do I, or my client need to do something in order for the 'discounted' pricing to take effect? or is that pricing model not there any more? or does it automatically take effect since I'm logged into MSDN? Since I do not need load balancing etc. feature as this will be only for dev/test.
Thanks,
Shri
