Does anyone have any real-life costs for Azure charges for a small deployment of 2016/2017? 4-8 users, any usage model - just lookingg for some high-low numbers right now.
What topology are you looking for? 1-2 VMs for NST with a load balancer? Make sure that you run on >1 core machines for the NSTs. For database, I would go with multi-tenancy mode (split app and tenant database), to ease tech upgrades. Don't go for the smallest possible database tier, do test different tiers on the workload for the customer to find the best fit
I'm sorry to say, that even with the biggest vm's, I found Azure to be slow.
Their disc performance where bad, maybe it's gotten better, but I found another provider for VM, that outperforms azure. Customers was not happy.
