We will start with a short definition of Plan, Offer, and Subscription to create a basic understanding of those terms.
- Plans are used to group services together that you want to Offer your end users (tenants).
- Offers are created by the Azure Stack service administrator and include one or more Plans. Therefore all the services that are grouped into a Plan are then Offered to the end user through your Offer.
- Subscription is the method used by an end user (tenant) to get (subscribe to) the services the end user wants to use. The end user creates a Subscription in the Azure Stack portal and selects your public Offers. Another approach is for you to approve each Subscription in cases where your Offer is private. Billing is part of a Subscription so that all services/resources used by the end users Subscription is billed to them.
