Azure Kubernetes Services Backup pricing

Question

Hi,

I want to understand the Azure Kubernetes backup pricing structure. From the documentation I understood that the AKS backup will cost $12 per namespace for a cluster on a per month basis. But is it equivalent to the consumption model and the price will vary if the backup is not retained for a month.
I would like to understand if i configure a backup on 1st of any month and then stop and delete the backup by 10th, will I still be charged with $12 per namespace or will it be charged for the 10 days only.
On the pricing calculator page there is no option to select number of days to retain.

Answer 1

The pricing is not prorated based on the number of days a backup is retained within the month. For example, if you create a backup on the 1st of the month and delete it by the 10th, you will still be charged the full $12 per namespace for that month.
