With
our new free Azure offer
, student developers can publish their own web apps to Azure and host them in the cloud, at no cost and with no credit card required. Students can take advantage of these great Azure services:
-
Web Apps
-
MySQL DB
-
VSO
-
Application Insights
Please note that Visual Studio 2013 is not compatible with our Azure offer. You should upgrade to
Visual Studio Community 2015
, which is free for everyone! You will also need to install
the Azure SDK 2.7 for .NET
.
Visual Studio Online Continuous Integration is not currently compatible with our Azure offer. If you want to use CI with your web app, please see
our blog post on Azure CI with GitHub
.
Once you’re set up with Azure, check out our Imagine Cup Hello Cloud Challenge. Every month, one student using Azure will win $1,000! You’ll find all the details
at the Imagine Cup site
.
Finally, please note that some students who previously signed up for an Azure subscription, such as the Azure Free Trial, may have technical problems with activating this new Azure student offer. These students must contact
Azure support
to unblock their sign-up for the offer.
