Best price region
The cheapest launch-set region for a size and the saving versus the region you are viewing.
Azure list prices vary by region. The Best price region column finds, across the regions this explorer covers, the cheapest Linux On-Demand rate for each size and shows the percentage you would save by running it there instead of the region on screen.
It is a fast way to spot when moving a workload to a nearby region is a real saving — the region name links straight to that region’s full price table.
