Excluding Private Endpoints, Why it is charging the 13 GBP (min) per day without usage of AML Compute Instance?

Question

I have an AML Instance which is created in the Landing Zone Subscription with the public network access disabled and enabled with Virtual network and private endpoints.

The Idle shutdown of the compute instances inside the AML Studio is configured with 1 hour.

Excluding private endpoints, if the compute is not being used / stopped whole day - then it should not charge any cost wright?

But I I observe my cost analysis for only aml resource excluding its dependencies, I can see minimum 13 pounds per day is costing. Why?

Note: No endpoints created in the AML studio - Endpoints section.

Hi Rajoli Hari Krishna

Cost seems to be valid for Azure managed virtual network secured workspace as per my past experience with secured workspaces and mostly coming from virtual private network links.

You need to cross check for Own managed virtual network secured workspace from cost management tab of your AML workspace from portal.azure.com

Validation

Once we move a workspace to virtual network, Cost will include the cost of private endpoints, storage, computes, container register and online/batch endpoint

If your workspace contains premium tier container registry, key vault, cost will be much higher compared to workspace with standard tier resources.

Cost is higher for Azure Managed Secured Workspace as private endpoint are created with Customer own virtual network and Azure managed virtual network.

You can drill down the cost of your secured workspace by going to cost management tab of your workspace and selecting different metrics.

Please use pricing calculator to find the resources like key vault, container registry or storage with their respective tier type.

Hope above pointers help you validate the cost associated and find the resources incurring high cost.
