Answer 1

Hi,

Yes, your understanding is correct.

Azure DDoS Infrastructure-level protection is enabled by default and is free. There is no option to configure it.

You may choose a paid tier of Azure DDoS Protection, of which there are two:

Azure DDoS Network Protection which is $2,944/month and covers up to 100 Public IP Addresses

Azure DDoS IP Protection which is $199/month per protected public IP resource. Typically people choose this when they only have small number of public IPs they need to protect and want to save on monthly cost.
