I am planning to publish my SharePoint provider-hosted app on Microsoft Azure. I have an Office E3 license. Do I need to pay for publishing this app to Azure?
And If yes, then how much do I need to pay?
<form id=”form1″ runat=”server”>
<div>
<asp:ScriptManager ID=”ScriptManager1″ runat=”server”
EnablePartialRendering=”true” />
<asp:UpdatePanel ID=”PopulateData” runat=”server” UpdateMode=”Conditional”>
<ContentTemplate>
<table border=”1″ cellpadding=”10″>
<tr><th><asp:LinkButton ID=”CSOM” runat=”server” Text=”Populate Data”
OnClick=”CSOM_Click” /></th></tr>
<tr><td>
<h2>SharePoint Site</h2>
<asp:Label runat=”server” ID=”WebTitleLabel”/>
<h2>Current User:</h2>
<asp:Label runat=”server” ID=”CurrentUserLabel” />
<h2>Site Users</h2>
<asp:ListView ID=”UserList” runat=”server”>
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID=”UserItem” runat=”server”
Text=”<%# Container.DataItem.ToString() %>”>
</asp:Label><br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
<h2>Site Lists</h2>
<asp:ListView ID=”ListList” runat=”server”>
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID=”ListItem” runat=”server”
Text=”<%# Container.DataItem.ToString() %>”>
</asp:Label><br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</div>
</form>
Provider hosted app will be hosted in azure as a web app (app services) which offers a free tier. If the load increases you might need to scale it up to either shared, basic, standard or even premium. to get an indicative cost use azure price calculator at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/
As far as I know you will need to pay for all the Azure costs as the “Auto-hosted” option got deprecated.
