BIlling Github Teams for organization through Azure

[pchambongard]

Hello!

I'm trying to upgrade my organization to Github Teams, and billing through Azure Subscription.

I already did azure subscription for Github Copilot for some member of our organization, but at checkout when upgrading to teams or Enterprise, Github asks me for a credit card or a PayPal Account, and there is no option to pay by Azure,

Does someone know how to do that?

Thanks a lot,

Pierre

GitHub typically handles billing and subscriptions independently of third-party services like Azure. While GitHub may integrate with Azure DevOps for certain functionalities, the billing for GitHub plans, including GitHub Teams or GitHub Enterprise, is typically managed directly on the GitHub platform.

If you're looking to upgrade your organization to GitHub Teams and want to use your Azure subscription for billing, here are some steps you can follow:

1. Contact GitHub Sales:

   • Reach out to GitHub Sales or support to inquire about billing options and the possibility of using your Azure subscription. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.

2. GitHub Enterprise with Azure Active Directory (AAD):

   • If you are interested in GitHub Enterprise and integration with Azure, GitHub Enterprise Server supports authentication using Azure Active Directory. However, the billing may still be separate.
   • You might consider GitHub Enterprise Server with Azure Active Directory authentication for user management while maintaining the GitHub subscription separately.

3. Review GitHub Documentation:

   • Check GitHub's official documentation or Azure Marketplace documentation for any recent updates regarding billing integration.
   • GitHub's features and billing options can evolve, so staying updated with the latest documentation is crucial.

4. Azure DevOps Services:

   • If you are looking for tighter integration between GitHub and Azure, consider using Azure DevOps Services. GitHub and Azure DevOps have some integrations, and Azure DevOps Services has its own billing model.

Remember to consult with GitHub Sales or support directly for the most accurate and personalized assistance based on your organization's needs. They can guide you through the available options and help you make informed decisions regarding billing and subscriptions.

Thanks for your answer,

I understand that Github Teams or Enterprise might not be considered as metered Services

But I still have the same problem for example, when I try to set spending limit for Github Packages, I have a Azure token linked to my GitHub organization, it says All metered services are being billed through Azure, But yet I can't set a spending limit on GitHub packages without putting a card or a PayPal account,
Maybe I missed some buttons or hidden checkboxes?

Because in the documentation it clearly says that Github Packages can be Billed via Azure

"If you are an organization owner, you can connect an Azure Subscription ID to your organization account to enable and pay for GitHub Packages usage beyond the amounts including with your account. For more information, see "Connecting an Azure subscription."

Thanks again,

Right now in my organization only Github Copilot is billed via Azure
