Hacking with Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is a flexible, scalable, and full-featured cloud platform. If you can imagine it, you can build it on Azure, using the tools, languages and frameworks you're already familiar with. Python, JavaScript, Java, .NET - you can run them all on Azure.

Using Azure you can run serverless code using Azure Functions, host web applications and databases, take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) through Cognitive Services, and create your own machine learning models through Azure Notebooks or powerful Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM).

Getting started with Azure

Creating an account

You can get started by creating an account on Azure. There's three different options available, depending on your current status as a student.

• Azure for Students | $100 in Azure for 12 months with free tier of services - no credit card required with academic verification
• Azure for Students Starter | use select Azure products like App Services for free - no credit card required with academic verification
• Azure Free Account | $200 in Azure for one month with free tier of services - requires a credit card and probably the best fit for faculty evaluating Azure for course instruction unless your organization has a grant or enterprise agreement
