Microsoft Azure – Pay-As-You-Go Pricing by the Second

azure

I've been looking at the pricing of multiple cloud providers, Google and AWS seem to offer a per second billing for their pay-as-you-go payments. Does Microsoft Azure also of a per second billing for pay-as-you-go?, as I am unable to find any documentation supporting this.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Azure Virtual Machines are billed by the minute. This is taken from the VM pricing page:

Q-If my virtual machine ran for 6 minutes and 45 seconds, how much do I get billed?

A-We charge for the number of full minutes your virtual machine is running, so you are not billed for any extra seconds. In this example you would be billed for 6 minutes.
