I am preparing for certifications and can't afford the $700+ cost for a low tier Azure managed instance. I do have pay as you go and student subscriptions but the cost is unaffordable. Is there a workaround for the pricing?

  • I would recommend to spin it up and then close it, Usually if you use for few days, it should not cost more than $100. – Rizwan Jan 05 '21 at 21:19

If it is only for certification purposes the Managed Instance could (and should) be short-lived. That would bring down costs drastically. The price per hour is € 0,91 or $ 1.07.
