| Billing and census | Billing data includes the system ID and the number of physical cores and hours used. Census data is required to enable basic management from Azure and includes system information (system name and ID, system connection status, storage pool ID, trial days remaining and billing model), machine information (number of machines, machine name, OS version, machine manufacturer, model and serial number, number of physical cores and memory size), and basic configuration such as, enablement of Azure verification for VMs, Azure managed identity and diagnostics level setting. | Billing and census data is sent to the respective resource region where the customer registered the device. | Billing is always enabled as it is required to charge for Azure Local usage. Census data is also always enabled, as it includes the minimal information required to manage Azure Local from Azure. | Data is deleted when the resource is deleted, except for billing data, which is retained. | To view billing data, navigate to the Azure Local system resource page in Azure portal, select **Overview** in the left pane, in the Essentials section select the **Billing status** link, followed by **View Cost Management**. To view census data, select **JSON View** located in the top right corner of the Essentials section. |
