Can cryptocurrency be mined on Azure?
Cryptocurrency mining is prohibited in most of the current offerings, including the Azure Free Account and the Azure for Students account. You can check out terms of each offer here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/offer-details/

"You will not facilitate, engage in, or participate in any use of Azure services, for crypto-currency mining, denial of service attacks, spamming, or illegal activity, and/or any use that could cause harm to Microsoft or others, and will enforce strong internal controls to prevent the same."

In addition to the current offer terms, you'll need to make sure that local laws do not prohibit mining.
