    I finally just got an A1 node in Azure, and moved a workspace into that Embedded Capacity, and tested it myself.

     

    They act like "Premium Capacity." Workspaces on the A1 node do show the "diamond" icon. And, I could schedule 48 refreshes per day.

Hi kevhav,

 

What is the pricing for A1 node?

Do they charge hourly or monthly?

They charge hourly. It's just ~$1 per hour, for A1.

 

In fact, they pro-rate hours.

 

So, you can procure an A1 node; test it out for 30 minutes; and then "pause" the node. So it will still be available in case you want to "start" again, but after pausing, you will have stopped paying for it. So a 30-minute test will just cost you ~$0.50.
