　　It is important to understand and master the basics of Windows Azure.

　　Question 1: What is an org ID

　　The Org ID is a special user name System for Azure China.

An enterprise user can use <username>@<orgid>.partner.onmschina.cn to log in to Azure China.

For example, the company is named Contoso Enterprise, can register org ID: @contoso. partner.onmschina.cn

　　

Question 2: What is an account?

　　An account is a user name that logs into Windows Azure. By using the account + account password, you can access the services provided by Windows Azure.

　　Question 3: What is a subscription?

　First of all, for example, we are familiar with dual sim phone. For example, I have a dual sim phone, buy the SIM card of China Mobile and Unicom (after paying), I can use China Mobile or Unicom SIM card, call, text, or internet browsing.

By the end of each month, China Mobile and Unicom will express two mobile phone bills separately:

-China Mobile mobile phone bill will tell users, this month's classification fees, including the number of minutes to talk, SMS sent how many, Internet browsing with how much traffic. It also shows how much the total cost is.

-China Unicom's mobile account will also tell users the detailed bill and the total cost of this month's charges.

　　

In Windows Azure, a subscription is like a SIM card. For example, users can create abc,xyz two different subscriptions, and can create and use Azure services in these 2 different subscriptions, such as virtual machines, storage, SQL database, and so on.

By the end of the month, the azure system will produce a detailed usage checklist:

-Tell the user the total cost of the virtual machine in the ABC subscription, what is the total cost of the storage, and the total cost of SQL database.

-The details of the charges that are incurred in the XYZ subscription are also displayed.

-The total cost of all subscriptions will be shown at the end.

　　Note: A test user can create and use only one subscription, while a user of a formal commercial may create countless subscriptions.

Question 4: What does a subscription have to do with an account?

　　In Windows Azure, the relationship between accounts and subscriptions is many-to-many. Assuming there are 2 subscriptions to ABC and XYZ, the account administrator can create several accounts with the following relationships:

Serial number	Account	Subscription
1	[Email protected]	Abc
2	[Email protected]	Xyz
3	[Email protected]	Xyz
4	[Email protected]	Xyz

In the table above, Mike and Tom can use only one subscription, and they can use subscription xyz to use Azure cloud services.

Xiaozhang has a different account, he can use 2 subscriptions (ABC and XYZ). Xiaozhang can use these 2 different subscriptions to use Azure cloud services.

　　

　For enterprise-class customers, accounts and subscriptions can be easily accounted for internally.
Contoso group, for example, has a software development base in three cities in China, Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. To use the Azure China Cloud platform to improve service levels, the Contoso group only needs to sign an azure business contract with the century interconnect to create an org Id:consoto. At the same time, the account administrator can create three subscriptions and three accounts. The corresponding relationship is as follows:

Serial number	Account	Subscription
1	[Email protected]	Aaa
2	[Email protected]	Bbb
3	[Email protected]	Ccc

In this way, users in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou can use the above three different accounts for their own software development and deployment. At the end of the month, the Contoso group headquarters will receive the Azure bill sent by the century interconnect, showing how much each of the three different subscriptions (AAA,BBB,CCC) cost, and how much is the total cost of azure. Based on the billing information, the Contoso group can carry out internal cost accounting for three research and development sites based on the invoices provided by Azure.

　　Note: The information between subscriptions and subscriptions is isolated, that is, users who subscribe to AAA cannot see the virtual machines, storage, SQL database, etc. that the subscription BBB creates. Similarly, subscription BBB users are also not seen subscribing to CCC user-created virtual machines, storage, SQL database, etc. This ensures that the service is isolated and does not affect each other by misoperation.

5: Account sub-permissions?

　　In Azure, there are three types of permissions from high to low, namely:

- Enterprise Admins

Enterprise Admins can add or associate accounts with registrations, view usage data across all accounts, and view the currency commitment balances associated with registrations. There is no limit on the number of registered enterprise administrators.

- Account Administrator

　　Account owners add subscriptions to their accounts, update service administrators and co-administrators for individual subscriptions, view usage data for their accounts, and view account fees with access granted to enterprise administrators. Unless the account owner has enterprise administrator rights at the same time, no financial commitment balance will be visible.

- service Administrator

　　Service administrators and up to nine co-administrators per subscription can access and manage subscriptions and development projects within the Azure Management portal. Unless the service administrator has one of the other two roles, there will be no access to the Enterprise Portal.

　　Note: The Azure Test account does not have an enterprise administrator.
