Microsoft cloud servers refer to Azure Virtual Machines.
Azure virtual machine is a virtualization technology on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform that can provide flexible computing, storage and network services. Using Azure virtual machines, users can choose different VM specifications and operating system types according to their needs, and easily create and manage their own cloud servers.
Azure virtual machines have the following advantages over traditional physical servers:
Flexibility: You can select the required virtual machine specifications, operating systems, and applications at any time, and dynamically adjust the number and scale of VM instances as needed.
High availability: The availability and robustness of applications can be improved by creating multiple virtual machine instances, load balancing, etc.
Security: You can use tools such as Azure Security Center to monitor, audit, and protect virtual machines to improve security.
Automation: You can automate the deployment, configuration, and management of VM instances by using tools such as PowerShell, CLI, or Azure APIs to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs.
It should be noted that using Azure virtual machines requires a certain technical foundation and you need to pay corresponding fees. Users can choose appropriate VM specifications and purchase methods based on their actual needs.
Microsoft cloud server price
The price of Microsoft Azure virtual machines varies based on different VM specifications, operating system type and usage time. Generally speaking, the billing models for Azure virtual machines include pay-as-you-go, prepaid, and hybrid.
Pay-as-you-go means that users pay based on actual usage. They can start or shut down virtual machine instances at any time, and are charged by the hour.
Prepayment means that users pay a certain amount of deposit or prepayment before purchasing a virtual machine instance in order to obtain a more favorable price and a longer usage period. Prepaid billing options include monthly, annual and multi-year payment options.
Hybrid payment means that users adopt both pay-as-you-go and prepaid billing models to achieve more flexible and economical usage.
It should be noted that the price of Azure virtual machines will also be affected by factors such as data transmission, storage space, and IP address. For specific price details, you can log in to the Azure official website for inquiries and comparisons.
Microsoft cloud server free for one year
The Microsoft Azure platform offers several free trial plans, including a one-year free trial of Azure Free Account and Azure for Students. Among them, the Azure free account is a 12-month trial plan that allows users to use some specific Azure services and enjoy corresponding resource quotas and usage limits, as well as some free services.
Specifically, Azure free accounts provide the following services:
Virtual machine: 750 hours of B1S specification virtual machine usage time are provided free of charge per month, either on Windows or Linux systems.
Storage account: 5GB of storage account capacity and 20,000 read operations for the account are provided free of charge per month.
Database service: 250GB of single Azure SQL database space, 100,000 query operations and 50 GB of backup storage space are provided for free every month.
Application Service: Free for 1 million requests to deploy up to 10 web, mobile or API applications.
Cognitive Service (AI): 5,000 cognitive service API calls and 500MB of LUIS dynamic storage space are provided for free every month.
Azure free accounts do not provide completely unlimited access to the above services, and related resource quotas and usage limits may affect users' actual usage needs. In addition, after the Azure free account trial ends, users need to upgrade to a paid account in time, otherwise service interruption or data loss may result.
How about Microsoft cloud server
Microsoft Azure is one of the world's leading cloud computing platforms, providing a series of high-performance, secure, reliable, easy-to-manage and elastically scalable cloud computing services, including virtual machines, storage, databases, applications, artificial intelligence, etc. The following are several advantages of Azure cloud server:
