Title: software cost of opnsense azure image
Post by: multazimd on March 03, 2026, 07:55:30 PM
Hi,

Has anyone used opnsense azure image: https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-en/product/virtual-machines/decisosalesbv.opnsense?tab=Overview

I see $0.05/hour software cost that shows up in the azure image (in addition to hardware/infrastructure costs). Will this software cost be static and will it increase based on VM CPU cores or throughput? Can someone who has used it please clarify.

No, it's static. It's just the license fee you have to pay for OPNsense. It doesn't grow with hardware scaling.

Is it really paying OPNsense or is it paying Microsoft? I could see a 50/50 split, but OPNsense better get something.
