    Hi there,

     

    there are many routes to reduce cost: Pausing the cluster when it is not in use and reducing its size. In addition there are many optimizations that can help reduce the cost.

     

    However, the bottom line is that the Azure Data Explorer pricing is based in a cost + manner on the dedicated resources that you are consuming. So reduction, pausing and optimizing are the best approaches.

     

    If you can share a little bit about your scenario we may be able to provide a better advice.

     

    Thanks
    Uri
