I created a few VMs in my Azure Free Trial subscription about a week ago to experiment with. I checked up on the charges today and noticed that I was being charged for the disks that were created along with the VMs. (I believe these are what is referred to as "managed disks", although the invoice just calls these "disks".)

When I create the VM, I am given a choice of Premium SSD, Standard SSD, and Standard HDD for the disk. So it seems that in addition to the costs of having a VM, one has to also factor in the costs of the disk that a VM has. Is that correct? It seems like charging a hotel guest for the bed in addition to the room rate to me.

The hotel won't charge you if you don't store luggage there after you check out.user3528438

Yes, you have to pay for the storage your vm is using, how is that surprising? every other cloud does the same (at least major ones do).
