I was using the student subs in Azure Portal, I had a visual machine that I used to use for my game server. And one morning, Azure told me your sub ended. Now, I lost all of my projects and files for my game server. Is there any way to take the files of my game server inside the visual machine without paying money?

    A reminder about security

    You may be tempted to relax on security when it comes to creating a VM for a personal project but security isn't just about preventing someone from stealing information or disrupting services. The last thing you want is an unauthorized user gaining access to your VM and doing something that violates the Azure terms of service.

    Secure your VM with a strong username as well as a strong password and use JIT (Just In Time) access for additional protection. It's also a good idea to make sure that your contact information is up to date in case there are any questions about activity on your account.
