About these prices

Retail list prices excluding tax, storage, networking and any Enterprise Agreement or CSP discount. A listed price does not guarantee quota or capacity in a region, and moving region can change latency, data residency and egress costs.

Reserved instance and savings plan rates are the commitment price spread across the term and are sold without an OS licence. Azure publishes no meter for every combination, so a rate marked * is derived: a Windows commitment rate is the Linux rate plus the Windows pay-as-you-go surcharge, and a missing Dev/Test rate is the Linux pay-as-you-go rate, since Dev/Test only discounts the Windows licence.
