Azure subscription reference

Enterprises and cost centers

There’s no limit to the number of enterprises or cost centers you can connect to a single Azure subscription.

If you want to use multiple Azure subscriptions to pay for usage in one enterprise account, you need to create cost centers. You can connect each cost center to a different Azure subscription. If a cost center is not connected to an Azure subscription, the usage is charged to Azure subscription of the enterprise account. This also happens if a cost center becomes invalid or is deleted—any future usage from those resources is billed to the enterprise subscription.

For details on how charges are applied to cost centers, see Cost center allocation for different products in the GitHub Enterprise Cloud documentation.

Azure invoices

After you connect your Azure subscription, usage for GitHub's products are included on your Azure invoice, summarized by product family. Azure usage is separated by SKU and either enterprise ID or cost center ID. The format used is enterprise:sku or costcenter:sku.
