Free Tier of OMS for Education use of Windows Analytics

Hi Ryan. Thanks for raising this. The credit card sign up page is a challenge for lots of organizations. The crux is that OMS is an Azure resource, and so requires an Azure subscription (even if used in a way that doesn't result in charges). You can avoid the credit card scenario by gaining access to any existing Azure subscription that your organization might have or could obtain. For example organizations may have or obtain Azure subscriptions as part of an enterprise agreement, or on the basis of a P.O. billing structure. If I can find a contact who knows more about the best ways for EDU orgs to get Azure subscriptions I will respond to the thread.
