Overview
This guide walks you through how Ripple calculates Azure billing amounts for each service, and the related settings that affect those calculations.
Ripple Azure Settings
Service Rates
Azure services are generally priced across the following tiers:
Rate | Description |
List price | The standard price Azure offers for each service |
CSP List Price | Azure's pricing for CSP contracts — the purchase price for CSP partners |
ERP / MSRP | The end-user price when reselling via CSP (e.g., software licences, Marketplace) |
Notes: CSP stands for Cloud Service Provider — a reselling partner for Azure.
Ripple can calculate billing amounts using any of the above rate tiers. If you are a CSP partner and wish to calculate using ERP / MSRP pricing, please note that a separate price file is required in addition to the Azure API used during Ripple integration.
