Guys,
Apologies i was in a split mind between this i had one of these threads a couple of weeks ago and didnt know whether to bring the old one back or create a new one?
I've just thought of a new question that someone here might be able to help me with.
I have an MSDN Professional license through work and this morning i've been playing with Windows Azure, well apprently i get a "load" of free stuff from them with my MSDN license, the question is can anyone tell me (or show me a link) to exactly what i get for free on Windows Azure with my MSDN Pro license?
The reason i ask is that i've now managed to create 1 (of i believe 100+) SQL Databases without a cost, created a 14Gb 8 Core Virtual Machine without any cost. Hosting 1 of i believe 25 Websites, without any cost. File Storage and all sorts.
It just seems like whatever i do on here, it isn't telling me it's going to cost. . . . . . HOWEVER, the thing i'm concerned about is in order to activate this membership i did have to put my bank details in. I'm posotive that throughout all i've been doing it hasnt once said it's going to cost you X amount a month, but i'm suspicious that they have my card details and i seem to have access to a hell of alot without any charge?
This is the quote from their website, and i do have this £0.00 spend limit on my account but i'm still a little worried. I don't like companies having my bank details for a service that isnt meant to cost anything?
Apologies to lenghten the thread a little more but this is all i can find: Windows Azure Special Pricing: MSDN, MPN, and Bizspark Benefits and it doesnt appear to list anything about Virtual Machines or Web Hosting
