I want a virtual system Large (A3) and I am going to use it occasionally. Pricing says $0.308/hr. Does this mean if the system is shutdown, then I don' play anything? What about the storage? I pay extra for that? How much storage I get along with OS?

You need to shutdown the VM (either in the Azure Portal or via PowerShell). It will show as "Stopped (deallocated)". At this point the only charges you would incur would be for the VHD disk images sitting in Azure Blob Storage.
The default VHD sizes are listed on MSDN under "Virtual Machines". These are "thin provisioned" which means you only pay for the actual data contained on the disk image and not the entire size (i.e. you can create a 1TB VHD but if it contains only 10GB of data you would only pay for 10GB).

I have a few VM images in the azure gallery. (not VMs just an image)
Each image has a different cost per day (USD)
for example:
0.5834592
0.45153
0.678912
At least 2 of them I know for sure were captured from VMs with the same properties on the same day:
OS disk: Premium SSD LRS 30 GiB
Data disk: Premium SSD LRS, 1024 GiB
Western Europe, Linux, Standard_NC6s_v3
And their prices are different: 0.8360976 and 0.678912
I am trying to understand what is the pricing methodology?
Does it depend on the size or the type of storage? If so where can I find these details for each image?
In addition, there were 2 images, then on 01/31/2023 I added 2 new ones
The 2 old ones, which I did not change - their price increased by 0.1071%
1 image from 0.5834592 to 0.6459732
and the second image from 0.45153 to 0.49990548
why did this happen?

So I create a storage account on azure and started using a file share for some days, but then I noticed some activity any hour during any day, even after stopping using the file share and deleted it:
I'm showing tables activity here because is where there's activity every hour, on other resources like tables and queues there's sporadic activity too, but I don't have anything on this storage account
After noticed this I try some things thinking about a security hole:
I tried to rotate access keys, several times
I even deleted and recreated the storage account with no avail, this was still showing the previous activity (can this be related that I used the same storage account name?)
This is not running in a production environment but still I don't know what is going on
Is this some background process of azure or do I need to worry about it?
As #David Makogon said, it turned out that was diagnostic activity, i disabled it in Diagnostic logs (classic) and the activity was gone.
Glad to know that my account wasn't hacked or something like that.

I am launching an EC2 instance with Shared tenancy. Can I get to know what are the other processes run on the same host by other users?
If the size of my /tmp reports 100% usage whereas the current contents of the disk under my login is only 50%, does that mean the disk usage (df) is taking size details from other users' file size as well, present under the same folder?
Your Amazon EC2 instance is a virtual machine. It has zero visibility of anything else running on the same host computer.
Individual 'virtual CPUs' are not shared
Memory is not shared
Network is logically separated
Disk is virtual, but logically separated
The disk is viewable only from that specific EC2 instance
Bottom line: Nothing that anybody else does on the same host will not impact your virtual machine. Whatever you are experiencing with df is purely related to your own instance and is related to the operating system you are using (Linux). It is unrelated to AWS/EC2.

Suppose I have two identical virtual machines in Azure, one is constantly running cpu at 100% and the other at 50%. Will the cost for them be the same or will the other be twice the price? This excluding bandwidth and storage.
No, CPU usage doesn't affect the cost you'll pay for the virtual machines. It will be the same for both of them.
Note that if you are using the Free or Shared tiers of Azure Web Sites you have a CPU usage limit.
Please, refer to this links:
Pricing - Web Sites
Pricing - Cloud Services
Pricing - Virtual Machines
NO. You pay for the timespan your VM is running.

When i try to offline a disk in a zfs raidz pool (the raidz pool is not mirrored), zfs says that the disk cannot be taken offline because it has no valid mirror.
Isn't one of the properties of raidz that it has a redundant disk (or even 2 disks in raidz2)...?
Could you give a bit more about your configuration please? What are the commands you are using? If I'm understanding your question that should work.
Note that:
You cannot take a pool offline to the point where it becomes faulted. For example, you cannot take offline two devices out of a RAID-Z configuration, nor can you take offline a top-level virtual device.
