we gathered it
On Azure's list, A100-SXM-40GB costs $3.4 an hour on demand, $2.35 an hour reserved for a year and $1.36 an hour reserved for three years. A year's commitment cuts the hour by 31%.
Azure's own rate card for its East US region, read every Friday from Microsoft's public Retail Prices API. A machine holds several GPUs, so its hourly price is divided by how many. A reserved price is the whole term's price divided by the hours in the term. These are list prices — what Azure asks before any discount — and none of them is ever averaged with anything. Where Azure lists the same price for spot and on demand, as it does for the GB200 in East US (checked 6 October 2026), the chart shows both as listed. Method as of 6 October 2026.
