Get started with StreamNative Cloud on Azure Cloud Marketplace with commitments
With a commitment, you sign up for a minimum spend amount and get a discount on your committed usage of StreamNative Cloud. All usage, including overage, is list price. So, if you spend beyond the commit, you actually pay the list price for the additional usage.
This document describes how to get up and running with StreamNative Cloud on Azure Cloud Marketplace with usage-based billing commitment.
Prerequisites
To use this service, you must complete the following:
- Have a Azure Portal account with payment / billing account setup to purchase any service in Azure marketplace. Contact your billing administrator if you have questions about setting up payment / billing account.
- Create a StreamNative Cloud account by following the sign-up of the StreamNative Cloud Quick Start.
- Log in to both Microsoft Azure Marketplace and StreamNative Cloud Console.

If you have not created an organization yet, enter a name for your first organization and follow the prompts to complete the setup of your organization.
If you have already created at least one organization, on the Organization page, click Create organization, enter a name for your new organization, and click Create.
Create your Pulsar instance and Pulsar cluster
