Hello Team,

Can anyone explain me how much will it cost monthly if I use [Azure elasticsearch service](https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/elastic.ec-azure-pp?tab=overview)?

I want to use the basic license but I guess we need to atleast subscribe STANDARD version in that service.

Our team is just trying to implement centralized logging system for our multiple applications and we will be ingesting around 5-7GB of logs per month.

Regards

that is a fairly small amount of logs but also depends on how long you intend to keep them ...

I personally do not like 1GB RAM Deployments but with  
2GB x 2AZs could be a good starting point. Really the best way is to get started and test.

Also there is a lot more functionality Alerts etc with Platinum for a few dollars more, probably well worth it

**These are JUST examples you need to test.. and do your own math**. You are only charged for what you use... so you can remove the cluster and stop the charges at any point

You should also get a free 14day trial...

About $110 / month
