Promotional pricing

Azure Databricks is offering a 30% introductory discount until January 31, 2027. The discount comes from a lower Databricks Unit (DBU) emission rate: your workloads consume 30% fewer DBUs, while SKU prices stay the same during the promotional period. For example, if your workloads consumed 10 DBUs for an hour, you would be billed for 7 DBUs (30% discount) at the prices stated above.
