Cloud hosted vm's has SQL server. Take a look at below link to get familiar with environments.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/fin-ops/imp-lifecycle/environment-planning

All you need is visual studio subscription to login. Where do you see difference in price ? Based on each machine type cost is different. You can use azure price calculator to look at pricing for different machines.

Which version you are going to deploy AX2012R3 or D365FO , for D365FO you need to provision DEV VM via LCS ,but for AX2012R3 you can deploy Azure VM using Portal It self and install and configure your slef.

My suggestion is to Just Subscribe for the Windows Server VM not For the SQL VM , cost wise its higher.

It's best option if you have your own SQL key (even you can try with Evaluation Key).

For AX 2012 R3 , if it is single user 16 GB with 8 core will be good enough for you to continue with development .

But for D365FO , When you are deploying via LCS , you will have list of compitable VM's , which you can select from the drop down.

Thanks & Regards,

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?

Thanks

If you select DS13V2 from LCS then you don't have to worry about OS or SQL.

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.

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.

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.
