I have one Azure subscription that I can create only 10 Log Analytic workspace that have free tier
I another subscription I cannot create any
Any ideas?
I dont know what can I do
You can get Azure Log Analytics by rest api(Log Analytics REST API Reference).
But you use Free tier, there will be restrictions in log analytics.
The Free pricing tier is a legacy pricing tier which is available for trying Azure Log Analytics. It has a data cap of 500 MB/day and only 7 days of data retention, so it is intended only for testing and is not to be used for production deployments. Note that moving to the Free tier from any other tier with longer retention will result in data older than 7 days being deleted.

I am planning to use the Azure Monitor service and specifically Workspace-based Application Insights for the client's project.
Before I purpose/implement Workspace-based Application Insights, I need to share the estimated cost with the client so I checked the Azure Pricing Calculator however in Azure Pricing Calculator for Azure Monitor service they have mentioned ONLY Classic Application Insights and I am interested in Workspace-based Application Insights so if someone has used or know about pricing then please share a link here. Please share official/authenticated information ONLY.
workspace-based application insight pricing calculator
As per this MSDoc,
Since workspace-based Application Insights resources store their data in a Log Analytics workspace, the billing for data ingestion and retention is done by the workspace where the Application Insights data is located. This enables you to leverage all options of the Log Analytics pricing model, including commitment tiers
in addition to Pay-As-You-Go.
As per Azure Monitor pricing
Application Insights charge for the data they consume.
Two different types of logs can be ingested for workspace-based Application Insights data
Analytics Logs and
Basic Logs
Application Insights data absorbed into either the workspace-based or classic versions is free to keep for 90 days without any price charges.

As part of a client requirement, I've been asked to set up central log repository for different Azure workloads including Storage accounts & databases. I see a default diagnostic setting in place but all of those are disabled. To enable these, we need to enable certain logs/metrics which will further be ingested into the workspace. Now I want to make a cost-effective & most accurate selection of the logs/metrics for storage accounts. Can someone with more profound knowledge into this domain enlighten me about it?
Similarly for Postgre SQL & Cosmos DB databases too, I have to make such decision. Please help me with this.
Please check the below points and references in detail.
Selection:
You can select the logs for the operations that you want to Get all the details you wish for.selection depends on the requirement.
A good practice is to go through your agents and monitoring settings
and see exactly what you are logging. Capture logs which are
important for your monitoring purpose.
Choose the cheapest region to create and store your log analytics
workspace.
If you have very high volume of the log ingestion then it would be
prudent to opt for azure commitment tier.
In case you need to export the log analytics data, rather than
exporting all the data, you can filter it and send only relevant log
data
Above things can significantly reduce your azure billing cost and help you to save money in using azure monitor effectively. Understand Azure Monitor and Log Analytics Pricing and Cost Optimization (azurelib.com)
Storing:
Log data can accumulate in your account over time which can increase the cost of storage.
If you need log data for only a small period of time, you can reduce
your costs by modifying the log data retention period to less days.
Use lifecycle policy to move data between access tiers.
Data ingested into Log Analytics workspace can be retained at no
additional charge(free) up to the first 31 days.
See
Design considerations and change the data retention if
not needed more than that. See Monitoring Azure Blob Storage
| Microsoft Docs.
Storage Insights is a dashboard on top of Azure Storage metrics and
logs. You can use Storage Insights to examine the transaction volume
and used capacity of all your accounts. That information can help
you decide which accounts you might want to retire.
Analyze:
Analyze the used capacity and monitor the use of the container.
you can consider reducing the total cost by exporting logs to
storage account, and then using a serverless query solution on top
of log data.See blob storage monitoring/optimize cost for infrequent
queries
Organize data into access tiers.Log Analytics has Commitment Tiers,
which can save you as much as 30 percent compared to the
Pay-As-You-Go price.
You should periodically review this information to determine if you
can reduce your charges by moving to another tier

Microsoft has added the ability to run Azure AI services on LUIS. Will limits (like 10k calls per month) be applicable for the LUIS container service as well or is it that there would be no limits with containers running ?
There is no limit as I am using S0 plan for Luis and there is no limit pay as you go.
find the description below for container billing.
The LUIS container sends billing information to Azure, using a Language Understanding resource on your Azure account.
Queries to the container are billed at the pricing tier of the Azure resource used for the .
Cognitive Services containers are not licensed to run without being connected to Azure for metering. Customers need enable the containers to communicate billing information with the metering service at all times. Cognitive Services containers do not send customer data (e.g., the image or text that is being analyzed) to Microsoft. The container reports usage about every 10 to 15 minutes.

I have created a service plan to host web apps, but while creating I didn't keep an eye on the pricing details, so gave a standard pricing.
Now I want to reduce it to basic pricing, can I do it?
I can only see the pricing for it, but not able to change it.
Because I have changed the pricing tag for databases.
Thanks in Advance!!!!!
You could scale up your pricing tier under App Service---Settings.
For detailed information, such as VM sizes for each pricing tier, see App Service Pricing Details. For a table of service limits, quotas, and constraints, and supported features in each tier, see App Service limits.
recently we had deployed one application in Azure. For that we choose Virtual Machine(Standard DS2 v2 (2 cores, 7 GB memory)), and SQL Server Standard.But when I look into Billing, I found that premium storage page blob/30 burns higher than Computer Pricing. How can I cut price on this.:
As the Pricing for Azure Disks Storage mentioned that Premium Disks would be charged basing on the three disk sizes: P10, P20, P30. Based on the Premium Disk size your chose, you would be charged at $135.17 per month. If you leverage Premium Storage snapshots to backup data, then there is an additional billing at $0.132/GB per month.
