Prerequisites for paying through Azure

Connecting your Azure subscription

After creation of your new enterprise on GitHub.com, to begin usage-based billing through Azure, you must connect your Azure subscription.

Important

If you don't use Enterprise Managed Users, connection of an Azure subscription will immediately end your trial and begin paid usage.

For more information, see "Connecting an Azure subscription."

What does my Azure invoice look like?

After you connect your Azure subscription, usage for GitHub's products will appear on your Azure invoice, summarized by product family.

For example, if you use this billing arrangement for GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Advanced Security, usage and price excluding tax for each line item will appear as follows.

Product Family Usage ChargesTotal (excluding Tax)
GH ENTERPRISEAMOUNT
GH ADVANCED SECURITYAMOUNT

For more information about your Azure invoice, see Understand terms on your Microsoft Azure invoice in the Microsoft Docs.
