Just started to evaluate the capabilities of the cost estimator. Seems to me that this is a very useful tool.
I am just wondering that all the cool features of Nerdio (power-management, usage of ephemeral discs) are not configurable in the cost estimator.
What I am really missing is a “average time of use” when using “Personal Desktops”.
Hi Travnicek,
Power management on host pools are present including autoscaling and disk flipping (Premium to HDD) EOSD is not present in the calculator but to calculate that, use the HDD button to select Standard HDD for each host pool and for the final result, subtract $5 per session host and you will get the right amount for estimating EOSD. Make sure you select a v5 machine that has a "d" in the SKU denoting that it has a temp disk for EOSD use.
Right now we do not have this function on the cost estimator to estimate for personal desktops. Though it can easily be done in the tool, just not in the cost estimator because it adds complexity to the cost estimator that most people do not use.
