Pricing details

Microsoft Purview Data Map

The Microsoft Purview Data Map stores metadata, annotations and relationships associated with data assets in a searchable knowledge graph.

End users consume the technical metadata, lineage, classification and other information in the Data Map through purpose-built applications such as Data Catalog, Data Estate Insights and more.

Data Map is populated at cloud scale and kept up to date through automated scanning, classification, and updates sent from data systems across cloud and on-premises configured for discovery with a Microsoft Purview account.

Data Map can be enriched by processing information contained in the Data Map to simplify search, generate insights, optimize storage of data assets and more.

Developers can also build their own apps powered by the Microsoft Purview Data Map using open APIs including Apache Atlas, scan APIs and more.

Data Map is billed across three types of activities:

Data Map Population—examples include metadata & lineage extraction or classification based on metadata & content inspection.

Data Map Enrichment—examples include use of resource sets to optimize storage of data lake assets, or aggregation of classifications to generate insights.

Data Map Consumption—examples include serving up search results or rendering lineage graph. This also includes the use of Apache Atlas API to build apps on Data Map.

Example Scenario:

In addition to the above, here is more information about how pricing works in GA to help estimate costs.

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 within the elasticity window.

Data Map (Always on): 1 capacity unit x NT$12.769 per capacity unit per hour x 730 hours for up to 10 GB metadata storage and 25 operations per sec

Scanning (Pay as you go): Total [M] min duration of all scans in a month / 60 min per hour x 32 vCore per scan x NT$19.572 per vCore per hour

Resource Set: Total [H] hour duration of processing Advanced Resource Set data assets in a month * NT$6.524 per vCore per hour

Data Map Population

Automated Scanning, Ingestion & Classification

Data Map population is serverless and billed based on the duration of scans (includes metadata extraction and classification) and ingestion jobs. Automated scans using native connectors trigger both scan and ingestion jobs. Push based updates from a Microsoft Purview client (e.g., lineage push from Azure Data Factory) only trigger ingestion jobs.

Duration of these jobs can vary based on the number of systems scanned or pushing updates, data assets contained in the scanned systems, number of classifications selected, the shape of the data and performance of the system scanned.

For SQL Server on-prem Free for a limited time
For other data sources ￥6.41 per 1 vCore Hour

Data Map Enrichment

Advanced Resource Set

Advanced Resource Set is a built-in feature of the Data Map used to optimize the storage and search of data assets associated with partitioned files in data lakes. 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.

Not available Price
Advanced Resource Set ￥2.14 per 1 vCore Hour
Note: By default, the advanced resource set processing is run every 12 hours for all the systems configured for scanning with resource set toggle enabled.

Insights Generation

Insights Generation aggregates metadata and classifications in the raw Data map into enriched, executive-ready reports that can be visualized in the Data Estate Insights application and granular asset level information in business-friendly format that can be exported. Report visualization and export incurs charges from Insights Report Consumption in the Data Estate Insights application.

Not available Price
Report Generation ￥8.34 per 1 vCore Hour
Note: By default, Insights Generation is enabled at provisioning and can be turned off in the Management center of Microsoft Purview governance portal. Disabling Insights Generation will stop refreshing of reports in the Data Estate Insights application. By default, Insights Generation runs automatically based on Data Map updates.

Data Map Consumption

Elastic Data Map

By default, a Microsoft Purview account is provisioned with a Data Map of at least 1 Capacity Unit. 1 Capacity Unit supports requests of up to 25 data map operations per second and includes storage of up to 10 GB of metadata about data assets. The first 1MB of Data Map meta data storage is free for all customers.

The 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 within the elasticity window.

A data map operation is a create, read, update, or delete of an entity in the Data Map. Examples of an entity include a data asset or a lineage relationship between two data assets. A search request may require multiple operations depending on the assets returned and complexity of the request. The storage size of an entity may vary depending on the type of entity and annotations associated with the entity.

Data Map requires an additional Capacity Unit for every 10 GB of metadata storage required. For example, a Data Map with 10 GB of metadata storage is billed at 1 Capacity Unit per hour. If the addition of new data assets increases the size to 10.1 GB, the Data Map is billed at 2 Capacity Unit per hour.

Microsoft Purview Applications

Microsoft Purview Applications are a set of independently adoptable, but highly integrated user experiences built on the Data Map including Data Catalog, Data Estate Insights and more. These applications are used by data consumers, producers, data stewards and officers that enable enterprises to ensure that data is easily discoverable, understood, high quality, and all use is per corporate and regulatory requirements.

Data Catalog

Data Catalog is an application built on Data Map for use by business users, data engineers and stewards to discover data, identify lineage relationships and assign business context quickly and easily.

Capabilities marked Included with Data Map are billed as the consumption of the Data Map Capacity Unit.

Data Estate Insights

Data Estate Insights is an application built on Data Map for use by Data Officers and Stewards to understand the data estate health and governance posture of their diverse data estate and drive corrective actions to close gaps. Data Estate Insights serve up enriched data generated through Insights Generation, which is charged separately as indicated above in the Data Map Enrichment – Insights Generation section.

Insights consumption is billed per API call. One API call returns up to 10,000 rows of tabular result.
