Anyone doing anything with Azure?

If so, how accurate do you find the Azure calculator to work out how much your resources cost before setting them up?

I've fired up a Basic A1 VM in UK South and, via our MS CSP distributor, the compute costs are double what the calculator predicts

I've logged a query through our distributor but thought I'd investigate in case I'm being stupid!

This is my VM instance (created 13th Feb)



The Azure Calc says £0.026/hour for the compute:



Yet the billing portal (we subscribe via the MS CSP reseller scheme, so our billing apears on our CSP distributor portal) charges me £0.048/hour



I know it's pence but over a longer term the difference stacks up, especially if you fire up the bigger instances.

Edit to say I have raised the issue via regular channels but wanted to check I'm not being stupid!
