I would like to know which could be the best aproach to get learn Azure SQL Database with low cost. If i create an Account, it just works by 30 days (free account) and I need more than this.
So, basically I need an account which can allow me to use:
Azure SQL Database (can be basic tier)
Azure Blob Storage
Azure Data Factory
Azure VM
With this information, have some way to get this services with low cost to learn Azure?
One solution would be to upgrade your free account to Pay-as-you-go account.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0003p/
With this you can try a lot of services from azure. Many services are charged based on the usage and for your training purpose that would incur the cost of nearly nothing bease usage would be very less. You can delete the resources as soon as you finished learning in order to keep your account clean.

I want to store data in Azure Cosmos Database. But it should not be in plain text. And I don't want to use the Client-Side Encryption mechanism provide by azure because it is accessible by teams who have access to the Database. How to do that. If possible then how to query the data on that.
I'm not sure why you want to do that, but Azure Cosmos DB uses AES-256 encryption on all regions where the account is running.
From the docs,
Data stored in your Azure Cosmos account is automatically and
seamlessly encrypted with keys managed by Microsoft (service-managed
keys)
Here the service's encryption-at-rest is not accessible from your application, which means it's done transparently to the end user. Which also means that you will never see the encrypted data as the Cosmos DB handles the encryption/decryption.
If you still need to encrypt with your own logic you can use the Customer Managed Key option.

I am trying to create a windows VM in Azure using Terraform. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to create the VM as a reserved instance for a 1 or 3 year plan.
Does anyone know if this is even doable with Terraform?
Azure Reserved instances are applied through billing. There isn't a technical mechanism for selecting a reserved instance. It is easily confused for how AWS applies reserved instances.
On the surface it is fairly simply, you pay for a reservation and it gets applied.
After you buy an Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instance, the
reservation discount is automatically applied to virtual machines that
match the attributes and quantity of the reservation. A reservation
covers the compute costs of your virtual machines.
But it can get fairly nuanced as you read through the documentation
I'm not an expert of azure and terraform but as far as i can see reservation are linked to subscription or to a resource group, so maybe you could configure it after resource creation

Does VM in azure container service cost? Microsoft is saying that the AKS azure container service is free for students. But when I go to create container service it's give a pricelist with vm. Is it will be cost for me as I am a student subscriber?
Azure Container Service is always free for a student subscriber, including it to cluster virtual machines.
But you should make sure that you haven't exhaust your available credit or reach the end of 12 months.You can see your remaining credit on the Microsoft Azure Sponsorships portal.
For more details, please refer to this article.
What happens after I use my $100 credit or I’m at the end of 12 months?
After you exhaust your available credit or reach the end of 12 months, your Azure subscription will be disabled. To continue using Azure, you may upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription by contacting Azure Support.

Do Azure have a low-cost cloud storage service like Amazon Glacier?
No, Microsoft Azure does not offer a service equivalent to Amazon Glacier. Glacier is built on top of Amazon S3. Equivalent to Amazon S3 is Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.
UPDATE - 06-November-2017
Recently Microsoft Azure offered a new access tier called Archive Tier which is similar to Amazon Glacier (and other cloud provider's long term storage solution for archival purpose). You can read more about this here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/blog/announcing-the-public-preview-of-azure-archive-blob-storage-and-blob-level-tiering/. I also wrote a blog post about the same that you can read here: https://gauravmantri.com/2017/10/15/understanding-azure-storage-blob-access-tiers/.
As an update to the other answer, Azure does have an semi-equivalent service in their blob storage in that you can set up your storage with a "Cold" access tier. You pay less per GB of storage, but you pay more for access against that data. In contrast to Amazon Glacier, you don't have the delay to access the data that Glacier comes with, but you do pay the same price or more (depending on your Glacier retrieval timing).
On the flip side, you can set up storage with a "Hot" access tier and pay ~80% more per GB stored, but pay half the price for access operations.
You can find the current pricing for Azure blob storage at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/blobs/ and current pricing for the various Glacier retrieval tiers at https://aws.amazon.com/glacier/pricing/

We need to use our ERP as SAAS (Software As A Service). We tried the Azure trial for three months, and technically was a succes. But, when we use RemoteApp services, the system asked for licenses (after 90 days), but We don't know if it is possible to paying monthly or how to obtain the licenses.
We have the great business opportunity, but I tried to contact microsfot support in Guatemala (Central America), and they always offered responses in 48 hrs. but after a month I haven't received any response. My no. ticket is 130109017590.
Can anyone help me with my explain how licensing works in Azure?
I think you are asking about licensing in Azure. If you are talking about something else please let me know.
Azure is set up as a Pay as You Go model where your initial monthly bill is $0 and it goes up from there based on how many resources you use. Resources in this case can be computing hours (i.e. you have a package deployed to a Cloud Service via Web or Worker Role)
Most of the functionality in Azure falls under the Platform as a Service, where the details of networking, hardware, OS, etc. are handled for you and you just focus on building and deploying applications. That being said, all of the licensing that you might normally have to worry about on an on-premise implementation is taken care of in Azure.
That just leaves billing. Billing in Azure is pretty straightforward. Smaller accounts (those that don't have an EA) are just set up with a credit card when you create the account. You will be billed on a given interval (monthly) for all of the resources you used in the previous month.
