Pricing Breakdown
There is no additional charge to use Azure Machine Learning itself. Instead, you pay for the underlying Azure resources consumed by your machine learning workflows, such as compute (virtual machines for training and inference), storage (for datasets, models, and logs in Azure Blob Storage), and networking. Other integrated Azure services like Azure Key Vault and Azure Container Registry also incur separate charges. Costs vary based on the type and size of virtual machines, the amount of data stored, and data transfer.
