Budgeting

To help track and control cloud spending by Ansys Access on Microsoft Azure users in your organization, you can set budgets for project spaces. Once a budget has been set on a project space, you can monitor budget usage throughout the lifetime of the project space. Budgets can be adjusted or disabled at any time to support utilization needs.

Note: The budgeting feature only tracks charges incurred by running virtual desktops and autoscaling clusters based on the list price for virtual machine hardware in the selected region. It does not account for charges incurred by other services and processes that are associated with Ansys Access on Microsoft Azure. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Ansys application licenses

  • Storage (data disks, Azure Files and Azure NetApp Files storage volumes ― see Managed Disks pricing)

  • Data transfer (see Bandwidth pricing)

  • Virtual machine maintenance

  • Other services provided by Azure which have an associated cost
