Thank you very much for this Steve. I reached out to our usual licensing vendor again, and from their side they can at least confirm that ours is an education tenant, however they are unable to provide any break down of price difference etc. Like you suggested, I think we are going to first start with pay as you go model (as much as finance would hate that) and I will also look into getting a dev/test environment going through our licensing vendor. I guess it's different with Microsoft, when dealing with other products usually we can just contact the company itself and square away things in a much speedy way. With license vendor, they start approaching everything as an additional business opportunity and that takes a lot of time (going through their internal Azure team and then them realizing that its not a big project etc.)

Hello Folks, I am looking into migrating some workloads into Azure (some VMS, backups, Azure Functions etc) for our non-profit high school district. Just few questions: 1. Just like any other offerings by Microsoft, is there such a thing as Education pricing Azure tenant to run aforementioned workloads? 2. How do I get that Azure subscription going, that would declare our Azure tenant an education tenant? 3. Are there any contacts, people on Microsoft I can reach out to? we are in South West USA area. PS: We already have M365/O365 presence for many years, and I have reached out to our usual vendor for licensing and for some reason they are unable to find a direct Microsoft contact for us. Thanks
