Register bot without Azure process
Hi Microsoft Teams, I was looking on creating and hosting bots. I thought that it is required to host the bot in Azure but according to documentation it is not but it needs to registered in Azure...

You can register you bot with dev.botframework.com. And you need to set the bot endpoint URL where bot is hosted, It can be hosted in Azure of course, or somewhere else (e.g. AWS, on premises, whatever). And you should also add Microsoft Teams as channel after the bot is registered.
If you want to register your bot in azure and make Azure Web Application as default hosting for your bot then you can choose Azure Bot framework (Bot Channels Registration). In this case, you have to pay for Azure services.
So If you are not hosting your bot using Azure services, you can always go for https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new.
