Good morning all,

I created an Azure account. I have finished the 30 days and credits "Azure free account".
I would like to know if is possible to keep having the account for free.
I do not want to pay for a service that I use just for practicing.

Do you have any recommendation?
Many thanks

    Hi @jon acquatonica ,

    if the 30-days period of an Azure Free Account is expired you have to move to pay-as-you-go, There is no chance to extend the 30-days period.

    There are some free Azure services (always free) and there are some free Azure services for 12 months.

    Please check this website for a list:

    Free Azure Services - always

    Free Azure Services - for 12 months
