Microsoft Offers Free Azure Trial
Posted by Lawrence Bonk as Microsoft, News, Press Releases
In a move taken from AOL’s 1994 playbook, Microsoft will begin offering free trial of Azure to qualified customers. The free trials have already begun, so what are you waiting for?
“This extended free trial will allow developers to try out the Windows Azure platform without the need for up-front investment costs,” a Microsoft blog entry explained.
Participants of the free trial can choose one of two options: 750 hours of use on an Extra Small Compute Instance, or 25 hours on a Small Compute Instance. An Extra Small Compute Instance offers the equivalent of a 1GHz processor with 768MB of working memory, which normally costs $.05 an hour. The Small Compute Instance has a 1.6GHz processor, 1.75GB of working memory, and typically costs $0.12 an hour.
