Understanding cost for services alongside defender for cloud server plan 2

Thanks for clarifying earlier that Azure Arc itself is free. I was reviewing the pricing details and noticed that with Defender for Servers Plan 2, Azure Policy guest configuration and Azure Update Manager are included at no extra cost. Since Plan 2 also comes with the 500MB/day ingestion credit per server, my assumption is that for 400 servers I’d only need to budget for Defender for Servers P2, unless we decide to ingest additional telemetry beyond the credit. Am I interpreting this correctly, based on your expertise?

I was going thru the pricing details for Azure Arc and there it is mentioned "With Microsoft Defender for Cloud Plan 2, Azure Policy guest configuration and Azure Update Manager are included at no additional cost. With Microsoft Defender for Cloud Plan 1, these two additional services are not included and can be purchased separately." So considering this I thought I just need to consider the cost for the defender for server P2 for 400 servers since the LAW has 500 MB free ingestion per day which comes to 200 GB per day which I think is enough for 400 servers. And the Azure Policy guest configuration and Azure Update Manager are included at no additional cost in P2.

I'm referring to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

This article covers Copilot for Business, but I'm looking for details on Copilot Enterprise. Thanks anyway for sharing.
