Azure free account creation

  Here we guide you through the steps with a description of what you should expect to see at each stage of the Azure free account creation process.

Here are the steps to create an Azure free account with a brief description of each step:

1. Visit the Azure Website: Go to the official Azure website at https://azure.com.
2. Sign In or Create a Microsoft Account: If you already have a Microsoft account, sign in with your credentials. If not, click on the "Create one!" link to create a new Microsoft account.
3. Start the Sign-Up Process: Once signed in or after creating a new account, visit the Azure free account page at https://azure.com/free. Here, you should see information about the free account offer.
4. Click "Start Free" or "Try for Free": On this page, you'll see a button that says "Start Free" or "Try for Free." Click on this button to begin the account creation process.
5. Provide Your Information: You'll be prompted to enter personal information, such as your name, email address, and phone number. Fill out this information accurately.
6. Verify Your Identity: Microsoft may ask you to verify your identity for security purposes. This could involve receiving a verification code via email or text message.
7. Set Up Your Free Azure Account: Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your free Azure account. You'll be asked for additional information, such as your country or region.
8. Agree to the Terms and Conditions: Review the terms and conditions and the privacy statement. If you agree, check the box indicating your acceptance.
9. Provide Payment Information (Optional): Microsoft may request your credit card information for identity verification. No charges will be applied unless you explicitly upgrade your account or exceed the free tier limits. This is done to verify your identity and prevent abuse of the free resources.
10. Complete the Setup: Once you've filled in the required information and agreed to the terms, click the "Sign Up" or "Create Account" button to complete the setup.
11. Access Your Azure Portal: After your account is created, you'll be directed to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/). Here, you can start using your free Azure resources and services.

Remember, the Azure free account has limitations and a monthly spending cap. It's designed for exploration and learning Azure services. If you exceed the free tier limits or want to use additional resources, you can choose to upgrade your account to a paid subscription. Be mindful of the resources you use to avoid unexpected charges once you exceed the free tier limits.
