Hi All,
I'm new with cloud hosted vm, i want to purchase vm for support our development and i found the type windows os only and sql server. If i purchase for windows os only is it already included for sql server or should i choose for sql server, because the price is much difference. Any suggest would be really great.
Thanks
Masha
It is a Windows VM (not Linux) so I think you pay for a Windows VM. And storage.
But you are not charged for a "Windows VM with SQL Server" price. Instead the SQL Server dev usage is covered by your Visual Studio subscription.
Hi Christoph,
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I too have this confusion.
Referring to your reply; does that mean I'll be charged for D13 instance + disk cost only rather than D13 + windows + sql + disk cost?
It looks to me that you're going to deploy an empty VM from the Azure Portal, which wouldn't contain D365FO at all. You should deploy a D365FO environment from LCS.
Hi Masha.
if you deploy a Dev Box out of LCS for D365FO development there is no need to choose SQL and OS. The screenshot looks like this. You just select the size like DS13. Depending on the size the price differs.
Hi Will WU,
If i selecting for OS only if it includes SQL too?
I used this environtment for development
Hi masha,
The price will change after selecting the SQL option,because it includes the OS and SQL Enterprise edition.
As Sukrut said,when you deploy D365 on LCS, you will not worry about it, and If it is a test environment, D13V2 will be a good choice.
Please have a look at this bog to learn about Azure VM.

Dear Sukrut Parab,
Thanks for your suggestion
Regards,
If you select DS13V2 from LCS then you don't have to worry about OS or SQL.
Hi Amith Prasanna,
It's for D365FO, so if i subscribe for windows server VM could i still use for the sql in that vm?
Hi sukrut parab,
I'm a little bit confused with the type variable, should i choose for OS only or sql server. If i choose OS only could it already included for the sql server?
