Obtaining a free MS Azure account

In many of my posts I talk about how to perform specific actions and tasks using MS Azure. If you don’t have an account yet, here is how you can create a test account easily:

On the Azure home page you can find the steps to create a free subscription, that will be valid for 3 months. On the page you get a list of all the free services that you will receive when signing up. 

The “start free” button will take you to a login page. If you have already a Microsoft account, you can use it here, or you can create a new account. Go through the login procedure to get to the sign-up page. Your credit card number will be asked in the subscription process, but it will never be charged. So you are safe 🙂

Enjoy your new MS Azure subscription!
