Do Azure VM pricing include storage in the VHD?

Question

So i'm looking for a cost affective way to host a website in a linux vm. The pricing only states the VM's cpu and RAM. What about the space used up by the OS and apps in the VM as well as the ongoing disk usage? is this an added cost? Whats the size of the disk?

Answer 1

The virtual machines are stored in Azure storage itself. They take up that amount of space in the Blob storage. If for example, your VM is 30 GBs bug, it will occupy 30 GBs in the Azure blob storage and it will cost you accordingly. 

You can check the pricing for Azure blob storage, as it keeps getting updated with time to calculate how much you may be spending.
