New: Azure Cost Estimator Tool

  • Article

Have you ever wondered what it would cost to run a traditional on premise or virtualized machine in Azure? If you are like me, you’ve tried many different ways to accurately baseline the server utilization and translate that to the proper instance size and utilization in Azure.

I have some good news for you. There is a new tool, Microsoft Azure (Iaas) Cost Estimator Tool, that will help you do this work faster and more accurately.  It takes just a minute to download and can be run quickly.

The tool supports

  1. Microsoft technologies (Hyper-V, SCVMM)
  2. VMware technologies (vCenter, ESXi)
  3. Physical environments (Windows, Linux)

Here is the download page with full specs and details on the tool:

Note: No data is sent to Microsoft at any time. All report and profile information resides on the machine where the tool is installed.

    My MVP colleague Aidan Finn and I discovered very strange results with the tool and reached out to Microsoft. We are now in contact with the developers.

    Seems to be that Microsoft removed the download until the issues are fixed.

    Thanks for your patience, we're working through a couple improvements on the tool. It should be back on the download site soon.

    Would also be really useful to have the option to save a Profile and run this again at a later time to get up-to-date Pricing

    Stephane, can you check if VM's other than 6 are not turned off? Please check log files it should say why remaining 50 VM's were not found.

    Christian, are you able to connect to the SCVMM 2008 R2 server using the PowerShell command
    Get-SCVMMServer. Please run this PowerShell command on the machine where tool is installed.
