Azure: Transfer billing ownership to another account
In the Azure Portal, under Cost Management + Billing under Azure Subscriptions: It is here that we can transfer billing ownership by clicking on the context menu for the subscription. We then select "Transfer billing ownership" and as part of the process, we can provide the email associated with the other account, and can also choose to move the subscription into the Azure AD tenant of the other account. This will move the subscription into the default Azure AD tenant of the destination account.

Azure: Standanr Load Balancer Pricing
The pricing for Standard Load Balancer is based on the number of rules configured (load balancer rules and NAT rules) and data processed. However, there is no hourly charge for the Standard Load Balancer itself when no rules are configured. Since this load balancer contains rules, it should be removed to save money.
In ARM deployment model, there is no charge for dynamic public IP addresses when the associated virtual machine is “stopped-deallocated”. However, you’re charged for a static public IP address irrespective of the associated resource (unless it is part of the first five static ones in the region). This resource should be removed.

Azure: Marketplace
Virtual machine images are available in the Azure Marketplace. Images are available for Windows and Linux. Stock operating system images, as well as custom images with pre-installed applications, are also available.
SaaS applications make up the majority of the Azure Marketplace. One click allows you to install and use many popular applications — such as Office365, Salesforce, Zoom, and others — seamlessly with your Azure subscription.
Solution templates allow you to deploy entire IaaS solutions with a simple click. Examples include complete SharePoint farms as well as SQL Always Available clusters.
