# Get Started with Confluent Cloud on the Jio Marketplace with Commitments
A usage-based billing commitment lets you pre-commit to a minimum spend on
Confluent Cloud through the Jio Marketplace in exchange for a discount on your
committed usage. This topic shows you how to sign up.
## Prerequisites
- A Jio Marketplace account. You can use Confluent Cloud and get billed directly
through Jio.
- Confluent Cloud currently requires your email address to be unique across all
organizations. If you already used your Jio email address to sign up for
Confluent Cloud, you must first remove yourself as a user from the Confluent Cloud
organization where you signed up. For detailed steps on resolving email
conflicts, see [Get Started with Confluent Cloud on the Azure Marketplace with Commitments](ccloud-azure-ubb.md#ccloud-azure-market-ubb).
- To subscribe to an offer, you must sign in to the
[Azure Marketplace](https://marketplace.microsoft.com/marketplace/)
with your Jio account ID.
- You must have Owner access to the subscription linked to the billing account.
- Your Jio policy must allow you to provision resources in the region where
you choose to set up the Confluent resource.
## Subscribe to a Confluent Cloud private offer on the Jio Marketplace
Follow these steps to subscribe to Confluent Cloud on the Jio Marketplace under a
private offer.
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) with your Jio
account.
2. Select the Confluent Cloud tile.
3. From **Plan**, select the required plan (**Annual Commit** or **One-time
Commit**) and click **Subscribe**. You might have several plans available.
To view a list of available plans and plan details, select
**Plans+Pricing**.
#### NOTE
You can view the private offer pricing when selecting the Public Commit.
The Private offer icon should also appear for public commit or the plan
selected.
4. For **Resource group**, choose **Create new** and enter a **Name** or select
any existing resource group.
5. In **Region**, under **Azure Resource Details**, select a Jio region for the
software-as-a-service (SaaS) resource.
6. Under **Confluent Organization details**, choose **Create a new Confluent
organization** or **Link to an existing organization**. If you link to your
existing Azure Marketplace subscription, Confluent Cloud prompts you for your account
credentials.
### Create a new Confluent Cloud organization
Enter the name for your new Confluent organization.
After you complete the Azure deployment, Confluent creates the new
organization and links it to your Azure subscription.
### Link to an existing Confluent Cloud organization
1. Click **Link to an existing organization** to navigate to the Confluent Cloud
login page.
2. Sign in with your existing Confluent Cloud credentials.
3. On the **Confirm billing updates** page, check each box to confirm that
you understand the terms of service, billing terms, and SSO settings
for both sections:
- **Current billing info** shows the billing information before account
linking.
- **Updated billing with Azure** shows the new payment method for the
account after linking.
4. Click **Choose this organization**. After confirmation, the linked
organization name appears next to **Confluent Organization Name** in
the Azure portal.
#### IMPORTANT
Linking to an existing organization automatically cancels any
active commit subscription on that organization. Before you link,
verify that the target organization has no active commit
subscription.
Watch the following video for a walkthrough of linking an existing
Confluent Cloud organization from the Azure Marketplace.
7. (Optional) Click the **Tags** tab to create tags for your project.
8. Click **Review and create**.
9. After validation completes, you can create the resource. Review the terms of
your plan and click **Create**. Your deployment starts. This can take up to a
minute.
10. After Azure deploys your resources, a confirmation message appears. Click **Go
to resource** to view the deployed resource on the Azure portal.
11. Click the Confluent SSO URL **Manage on Confluent Cloud** to sign in to
Confluent Cloud using your Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
account. You might be asked to choose an account for SSO. Grant
permission to the Confluent application on the Consent screen by
clicking **Accept**. You are now signed in and can manage your resources
on Confluent Cloud.
#### NOTE
Before SSO users can sign in, a Global Administrator must grant
permissions to the Confluent app.
12. You can invite more users to your organization by creating a Confluent Cloud
account. Use a Microsoft Entra user, or a non-SSO user with an email
address and password. For more information, see [Add a local user
account](../security/authenticate/user-identities/user-accounts/manage-local-user-accounts.md#add-local-user-console) and [Add an SSO user](../security/authenticate/user-identities/user-accounts/manage-sso-user-accounts.md#add-an-sso-user).
## Manage Confluent Cloud from Azure
After you create or link a Confluent Cloud organization, you can manage access and
resources:
- Manage Kafka clusters in Confluent Cloud. For more information, see
[Create a Kafka Cluster](../clusters/create-cluster.md#cloud-create-cluster) in the Confluent Cloud documentation.
- Enable single sign-on (SSO) for your organization. For more information, see
[Single sign-on](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/partner-solutions/apache-kafka-confluent-cloud/manage?tabs=azure-portal)
in the Azure documentation.
- Enable just-in-time (JIT) user provisioning to automatically create Confluent Cloud
user accounts in Azure. For more information, see
[Support for Azure Marketplace organizations](../security/authenticate/user-identities/user-idps/sso/jit-user-provisioning.md#jit-user-provisioning-az).
- Add users and assign permissions to your Confluent Cloud organization from within
Azure. For more information, see
[Use Confluent Access Management in the Azure Portal](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/partner-solutions/apache-kafka-confluent-cloud/manage-access)
in the Azure documentation.
- Use Azure Functions and Azure Cosmos DB connectors. For more information, see
[Connect a Confluent Organization to Azure Compute Services](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/partner-solutions/apache-kafka-confluent-cloud/add-connectors)
in the Azure documentation.
- Manage Confluent connectors from the Azure portal. For more information, see
[Use Confluent Connectors in Azure (preview)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/partner-solutions/apache-kafka-confluent-cloud/add-confluent-connectors)
in the Azure documentation.
- Use the Azure CLI to manage your Confluent Cloud organization. For more information,
see [az confluent command reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/confluent?view=azure-cli-latest)
in the Azure documentation.
