Consider these important items for Nutanix on Azure BareMetal nodes:
33
+
34
+
**Cost coverage**: The BareMetal cluster nodes have no cost through the trial. Other components like VMs for Flow Gateway networking and other Azure services are billed and not included in the trial.
35
+
36
+
**Trial duration**: The trial begins with the initial hardware node deployment and lasts for 30 consecutive days. It can't be paused, and the start date is fixed regardless of cluster activity. Even if the cluster is dropped, the trial time continues.
37
+
38
+
**One-time opportunity**: The trial is a one-time offer. If you deploy a cluster after the initial 30-day trial period, regardless of the timeframe, the trial doesn't reset, and you'll be billed. Creating a cluster in a different subscription does not reset your trial timing.
39
+
40
+
**Track the trial period**: There's no visible trial information for the BareMetal. You should track your BareMetal deployment date manually.
