Need access to Microsoft Azure?

There are several ways you can get access to Microsoft Azure for your research. Your university may already make Azure available to you, so first port of call is to speak to your research computing department. There are also other ways for you to start experimenting with the cloud:

• Several free services for you to explore:

  • Test drive the Linux Data Science Virtual Machine
  • Azure Machine Learning
  • Azure Jupyter notebooks
  • Azure web apps
• Sign-up to a one month free trial here

• Apply for an Azure for Research award. Microsoft Azure for Research awards offer large allocations of cloud computing for your research project, and already supports hundreds of researchers worldwide across all domains.
