This Tuesday I've joined the DataMinds user Group to talk about Azure Purview.
It was the first session of the year for both me and DataMinds. Some great questions during the session, thank you for that.

Last night I was preparing for a demo with Azure Purview. As always, I walk through all the activity hubs to see if there are any new options. This time I noticed that the Pattern Rules option was greyed out.
To enable this Pattern Rules you need to enable the option Advanced Resource Sets in the Management Activity tab.
The Resource set was already present in my Purview Account which was created before August 19th, so it was surprise for me that the pattern rules where greyed out for me.
My Demo Purview account was created after August 19th and there differences between the 2 versions and available options/features. What has changed Azure Purview after August 19th can be read in my previously written blog.
Once you have enabled this feature, the Azure Purview team recommends waiting an hour before scanning in new Data Lake data. After scanning your Data Lake data manual or scheduled, you will see the Resource Sets.
When advanced resource sets feature is on, asset and classification insights will only update twice a day(every 12 hours).
More details on how to create Resource Set Pattern Rules, can be found here.
When you have enabled Advanced Resource Set feature you will be charged €0.18 per 1 vCore Hour(Free in preview). Billing for processing the resource set data assets is serverless and based on the duration of the processing, which can vary based on the change in partitioned files and resource set profile configured.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please let me know.
Azure Purview is now Microsoft Purview as off April 2022
An updated post can be found here Updated Microsoft Purview Pricing and Applications
Note: Billing for Azure Purview will commence November 1, 2021.
Updated October 31st, 2021
Pricing for Elastic Data Map and Scanning for Other Sources are changed and updated in the blog below.
Since my last post on Azure Purview announcements and new functionalities I got some questions regarding pricing. In the meantime the pricing page has been updated and I’ve created also a new Azure Purview instance in my subscription(after August 18th). Currently most of the Azure Purview components are still free until further Notice. To get more details I still recommend everyone to watch the Azure Purview event from September 28th 2021, https://azuredatagovernance.eventcore.com/
Updated September 29th, 2021
Yesterday Microsoft announced the General Availability of Azure Purview, more on the announcement can be found in the blog from Rohan Kumar
Since September 28, 2021, the price of Azure Purview has been adjusted. The main change is that the use of the Elastic Data Map will remain free until November 1, 2021. To encourage trial of the Elastic Data Map, we are providing all customers free usage of Data Map from August 16, 2021 to October 31, 2021. I’ve updated the pricing details below.
As a small recap:
| Price | |
| Capacity Unit | €0.353 per 1 Capacity Unit Hour |
Billing for Data Map capacity unit consumption will commence November 1, 2021.
When you have created your Azure Purview after Augusts 18th, you will see that you are currently not charged for the Data Map Units.
As you can see, no charging anymore for Data Map, I’m only charged for my scanning, which I only do manually do save some costs.
| Price | |
| For Power BI online | Free for a limited time |
| For SQL Server on-prem | Free for a limited time |
| For other data sources | €0.540 per 1 vCore Hour |
| Price | |
| Resource Set | €0.18 per 1 vCore Hour |
Billing for scanning duration will commence November 1, 2021.
Based on the example which is published on the pricing page, I’ve done a Calculation:
Example Scenario:
Data Map can scale capacity elastically based on the request load. Request load is measured in terms of data map operations per second. As a cost control measure, a Data Map is configured by default to elastically scale up to a peak of 8 times the steady state capacity.
For dev/trial usage:
Data Map (Always on): 1 capacity unit x Price per capacity unit per hour x 730 hours per month
Scanning (Pay as you go): Total duration (in minutes) of all scans in a month / 60 min per hour x 32 vCore per scan x €0.540 per vCore per hour
Resource Set: Total duration (in hours) of processing resource set data assets in a month * Price per vCore per hour
The total cost per month for Azure Purview = cost of Data Map + cost of Scanning + cost of Resource Set
Assuming above Scenario that we only use 1 Capacity Unit and use not more then 2 GB of Metadata storage and we scan our data once a week for 2 hours.
Data Map 1 CPU x €0.353 X 730 hours = €257,69
Scanning 4 scans x 2 hours x 32 VCore x €0.540 per vCore per hour = €138,24
Resource Set 4 scans x 1 hour x €0.18 per vCore per hour €0,72
In Total €396,65including 4 scans. If you leave Azure Purview as is and no scanning you base fee will be €257,69.
