The Azure Modeling and Simulation Workbench is a cloud-based collaboration platform that provides secure, isolated chambers to allow enterprises to work in the cloud. Modeling and Simulation Workbench provides a large selection of powerful,virtual machines (VM) and high-performance scalable storage and provides control and oversight to what users can export from the platform.

## Control costs with chamber idle mode

When a chamber won't be used, [place it into idle mode](./how-to-guide-chamber-idle.md). Idling a chamber significantly reduces costs. Refer to the [pricing guide](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/modeling-and-simulation-workbench/#pricing) for more details. Idle mode won't delete your VMs or storage, but does terminate desktop sessions and chamber license servers.

## Review user allocation to chambers to control cost

Modeling and Simulation Workbench prices chamber access through 10-Pack user connectivity. If your user count increases beyond a multiple of 10, an additional user pack will be added. Review your user allocations to ensure your costs are optimized. Refer to the [pricing guide](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/modeling-and-simulation-workbench/#pricing) for more details.

### Use separate Key Vault to broaden security perimeters

Use separate Key Vault for every workbench or assigned group of administrators to help keep your deployment secure. In the event that user credentials or a perimeter is breached, a separate key vault for workbenches can reduce impact.

### Assign two or more Key Vault Secrets Officers

The role of **Secrets Officers** is assigned to the **Workbench Owner** who is tasked with creating and administering the workbench environment. Having at least two officers and reduce downtime if secrets need to be administered and one administrator is not available. Consider using Azure Groups to assign this role.

* Chamber storage is the best place to store vital data and perform application workloads. Chamber storage is high-performance with two different performance tiers and scalable. You can learn how to manage chamber storage in [chamber storage how-to](./how-to-guide-manage-chamber-storage.md).

Application registrations are authentication brokers for the Modeling and Simulation Workbench. It does not delegate or manage roles or access into individual chambers, user roles and Identity and Authentication Management (IAM) at the chamber level is responsible for this access. You can use fewer application registrations where it makes sense to do so based on region, user base, project, or security boundaries.
