Hi, I possess a Symantec PAM VHD image totaling 15GB, and I am seeking clarification on whether uploading it to the Azure Container would incur charges on my free Azure Account. Furthermore, if I proceed with creating a Network Security Group, Virtual Network, and VM machines (specifically Windows 2019 and Ubuntu), I would appreciate knowing the associated monthly costs. And I will switch to pay as you go then how much in this scenario cost me on a monthly basis? Regards, Mohit Trehan

    Hi Mohit @CAMENA

    Uploading your Symantec PAM VHD image to Azure Storage Container/ACR will not incur any charges on your free Azure account. However, please note that storing the image in both Azure Storage container/ACR will incur storage costs. The cost of storing the image will depend on the size of the image and the storage tier you choose. You can find more information on Azure Storage pricing on the Azure Storage pricing page.

    Regarding the creation of a Network Security Group, Virtual Network, and VM machines, the cost will depend on the size and number of VMs you create, as well as the region you choose to deploy them in. You can use the Azure pricing calculator to estimate the monthly costs based on your specific requirements.

    You can find more information on ACR pricing on the [Azure Container Registry pricing page](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/container-registry

    If you switch to a pay-as-you-go subscription, the cost will depend on the same factors mentioned above. However, you may be eligible for certain discounts based on your usage. You can find more information on Azure pricing and discounts on the Azure pricing page.
