Azure help Requested

Hi Guys, 

We are working on a POC for Trackometrix on Azure where we connect regular CCTV IP cameras to the cloud for real time retail analytics. 

We are stuck on a couple on points on Azure and request for the community to help us out with the correct info. The questions are as below: 

1. In a service fabric cluster, why am I not allowed to reduce the number of VMs to a value less than the default of 5 under the primary node?

2. If I choose the “A1 Standard” with 1 core and the price shown is Rs 4023.46 per month. Is this price for the entire cluster with 5 VMs or is it per VM in the cluster?

3. If I have instance count for my micro service as 3, will it create 3 copies across 3 VMs in my primary node? Or does the instances spread across the nodes only and am I forced to create a secondary node with at least 1 VM if I need more than 1 instance of my micro service running in the Service Fabric? I am asking this because the local emulator spins 5 nodes, but it does not emulate the VMs in each node, which is the actual scenario in the cloud.

4. Lets us assume 10 AM to 5 PM IST is the only time I want my service to run, So is there an option to just stop my node and all the associated VMs so that it just goes to un-allocated state and I am not billed for compute. It is ok if I am billed for storage as storage is cheap. The next business day I would start the Node and all associated VMs at 9 AM and would like the service to work as usual, without having to redeploy the code.

The above info will help us migrate to the cloud faster. Thanx in advance

Regards,

Ravneesh
