Using Microsoft Azure for students

  • Cikk

With our new free Azure offer, student developers can publish their own web apps to Azure and host them in the cloud, at no cost and with no credit card required. Students can take advantage of these great Azure services:

  • Web Apps
  • MySQL DB
  • VSO
  • Application Insights

Please note that Visual Studio 2013 is not compatible with our Azure offer. You should upgrade to Visual Studio Community 2015, which is free for everyone! You will also need to install the Azure SDK 2.7 for .NET.

Visual Studio Online Continuous Integration is not currently compatible with our Azure offer. If you want to use CI with your web app, please see our blog post on Azure CI with GitHub.

Once you’re set up with Azure, check out our Imagine Cup Hello Cloud Challenge. Every month, one student using Azure will win $1,000! You’ll find all the details at the Imagine Cup site.

Finally, please note that some students who previously signed up for an Azure subscription, such as the Azure Free Trial, may have technical problems with activating this new Azure student offer. These students must contact Azure support to unblock their sign-up for the offer.

    That's correct, Olelewe, but it does now include MySQL which may be helpful for you.

    @grldsndrs and for the benefit of others who may want to use the Azure Dream Spark subscription to host a website with a database.   MySQL is indeed the only available Db with a DS subscription.  You can find it by searching the Market Place.   I found several tutorials/examples of Websites using Asp.Net Identity with a MySQL Db.  I was able to piece together a solution using Asp.Net 4, MVC5 and EF6 with a Db hosted on Azure.  I found the following sites most helpful; even though they are somewhat outdated. www.asp.net/.../aspnet-identity-using-mysql-storage-with-an-entityframework-mysql-provider www.codeproject.com/.../How-to-set-up-application-using-ASP-NET-Identity-w

    Please add SQL Server Localdb to Microsoft Azure for students. It's really needed for learning producing web apps with MS SQL Server.

    Why would you be denied MSSQL DB creation or Local DB. Microsoft allows MYSQL ,but not it's own????  O.o .... -.-  Thanks Microsoft what a way to show students you truely care. Give us hope ,but then you yank it away by limiting us tremendously. Do fix this please.

    What kind of service is available for students?  What's the max. compute option, RAM, storage? It might be good for students to get started, but I wonder if it's not good enough for more advanced and ambitious students. Can students point their own domain to a free DreamSpark Azure account? Can students who have signed up with an Azure trial still take advantage of the free Dreamspark account when they are validated with a student email or some other method? Thanks...  so far it looks good.  Azure is awesome, I'd like to use it all or most of the time for web apps.  Better than AWS and other offerings if you ask me, even though it's kind of complicated to setup and use sometimes.

    Hi everyone, I have a series of blogs that start at: blogs.msdn.com/.../azure-using-c-to-connect-to-a-locally-hosted-mysql-database.aspx These go through the process of building a MySQL and Web App.  You do get 1 gigabyte of storage on the Web App, and 0.02 Gigabytes for a MySQL database (that is 20 megabytes). In a few days the series should be completed.

    What are the limitations of Azure for DreamSpark subscription?

  • Time restriction? Upto what time can we use this service? Does it stop after 1, 2 or 3 years?
  • Database? Can we buy more than 1 GB of database if we want?
  • WebApp instance size? Can we use Small/Medium/Large instance size on compute engine?
  • Storage? Do we get Azure Blob storage features? If yes, how much space is included in it?

    why in the world did you not include a minimum SQL server?  This seems counter productive to future sales by Microsoft by teaching students MySQL!  Please include SQL.  I would like to use it in my class!

    Same here - azure SQL is a key topic and building block.  Can an institutional-level azure subscription be created: something to match bizspark?

    Wow... you guys are at least able to register. I am logged on my DreamSpark and I am unable to do any of the above because Azure won't accept either my email registered for DreamSpark or to register for the free evaluation. Tried to obtain support but so far, no word. Let us wait and see ;)

    Is there any likelihood of getting options that are useful to students in System Administration paths?  Tying an Azure Domain Controller to a lab Domain for example would be a fantastic opportunity to learn.  This offering is unfortunately quite useless for me.
