How to Get to Azure with the Right Setup

To get to Azure with the right setup, you'll need to create an Azure account, which is free for 12 months, after which it will cost $1 per month for the basic tier.

Azure has a free tier, which is perfect for small projects or testing the waters.

To get started, you'll need to sign up for an Azure account on the official Azure website.

Once you've signed up, you'll be able to access the Azure portal, where you can manage your resources and services.

Before you start your Azure journey, you'll need to set up your environment.

You'll need a Microsoft account to sign up for Azure. This is the same account you use for other Microsoft services like Office 365.

Choose a subscription plan that suits your needs. You can opt for a pay-as-you-go plan or a free trial to get started.

Azure supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. You can choose the one that's most familiar to you.

Make sure you have the necessary hardware to run Azure. A minimum of 4 GB of RAM and 2 GHz processor is recommended.

Familiarize yourself with Azure's command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI). This will help you navigate and manage your Azure resources.

You have two main options to consider: pay as you go or try Azure free for up to 30 days.

Pay as you go allows you to only pay for what you use, which can be a cost-effective option if you're not sure how much you'll need.

You can try Azure free for up to 30 days to get a feel for the platform and see if it's right for you.
