On Azure Marketplace, AutoMQ provides BYOC subscription licenses through a SaaS offer as the purchasing and billing channel, while the AutoMQ BYOC control plane and data plane are deployed in your own VPC. AutoMQ uses AKU (AutoMQ Kafka Unit) to define cluster size and capacity, with monthly or annual billing options. A subscription must be purchased before clusters can be created and used.
For details on AKU definition and calculation, refer to Billing Instructions for BYOC▸.
If you have any questions about billing, feel free to contact us for assistance. Purchase Steps
