At the heart of every enterprise's cloud strategy lies a common goal: optimizing costs. We recognize this imperative, and we're excited to announce the general availability of the Azure Savings Plan for Azure Spring Apps Enterprise beginning January 1.
Offering 25 percent off with a one-year commitment and 47 percent off for a three-year commitment, this plan will offer organizations substantial discounts as they embrace the power of the cloud. With flexible upfront and monthly payment options, this savings plan is designed to seamlessly integrate with your Azure Spring Apps Enterprise operations, ensuring uninterrupted services:
Activate without disruption – The Azure Savings Plan can be activated without disturbing your existing environments or requiring redeployment of your applications, enabling you to focus on what matters: innovation and growth.
Scale with substantial savings – As you operate your application workloads at scale, the Azure Savings Plan becomes a powerful ally, delivering significant cost reductions and lowering the total cost of ownership. The 25 percent and 47 percent discounts are not just numbers; they represent tangible savings that empower you to do more with your resources.
Streamlined cost calculations with TCO framework – Calculating the total cost of ownership (TCO) for your Spring apps on Azure Spring Apps Enterprise and Kubernetes-based services can be complex. To simplify this process, we've developed a special TCO framework to enable more precise cost calculations, increase transparency, and simplify budgeting.
Faster + More cost efficient = Better
See some of the ways Azure Spring Apps Enterprise is improving and being made more cost efficient:
Transformative tools for efficiency – Embarking on your cloud journey just got better with innovative tools and substantial savings opportunities. Discover and assess running Spring applications in minutes. Create development, test, or production environments within 15–30 minutes, while achieving potential savings of up to 47 percent.
Simplified development – Azure Spring Apps Enterprise is more than just a platform; it's an ecosystem designed to enhance your developer experiences.
Streamlined deployment – Deploying running workloads on a Kubernetes cluster within Azure Spring Apps is simplified to a single command: "az spring app deploy." This command streamlines the deployment process, making it efficient and hassle-free.
Enhanced developer's inner loop – Efficiency across the development cycle is paramount. From project bootstrapping to debugging, Azure Spring Apps enhances your developer's inner loop. Conduct these activities directly from your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with dedicated plugins for popular tools like VSCode, IntelliJ, Maven, and Gradle.
Portability – Developers can build applications that work consistently across different environments. Eliminate discrepancies between development and production setups, ensuring your applications can run anywhere, including on development machines.
Diagnostic tools – Troubleshooting and fine-tuning become seamless with comprehensive diagnostic tools. The Application Live View offers traditional tools like Java Flight Recorder, application instance console, and thread and memory dump analyzers for in-depth analysis and monitoring.
Your transformative cloud journey awaits
Azure Spring Apps Enterprise and the Azure Savings Plan form a powerful alliance, providing not only a streamlined development experience but also substantial cost savings. Embrace cloud savings with Azure Spring Apps Enterprise and the Azure Savings Plan.
