Yes you can get a 1-Month Free Trial Subscription. The free trial has enough features you need to use as a student.

Cheers!
Please note while registering for free trial you need a valid credit/debit card and a transaction of $1 will be made to verify your card.
Azure Web Sites is FREE up to 10 sites that run in "Shared mode" (limited CPU, memory, bandwidth, storage):

It is pretty powerful for what you get to get started.
As mentioned above there is a FREE 90-trial. Also if your school has a Microsoft partnership and provides MSDN Subscription access...you do get $3,700 / year of Azure for FREE.

I am not sure if I understand how this works and if I could accidentally be charged if I do this?
I want to play around with Azure just for myself, deploy a web app, learn how it works.
I have an old Visual Studio subscription that I got years ago from a company I used to work at.
This subscription is old and disabled now, expired. I have an option to convert it into pay-as-you-go subscription. When I try to do that, it is asking for my credit card. I don't want to use any paid services, I just want to play with a basic free service plan (I believe it is called F1).
If I provide my credit card and convert that subscription to "pay-as-you-go", it is not going to charge me right away for something? I am not very familiar how this works. Thank you.
I am using the pay as you go plan and it required a credit card to subscribe.
It is possible to use the Azure subscription without paying as long as you use the F1 (Free) service plan for any of the services you use.
Once you start using the Basic, Standard or Premium plans, then you will be billed monthly to those services, and almost all those paid plan costs accumulate hourly.
It is possible to use the non-free services as well and use almost nothing as long as you remove the resources soon after use. As with any service, please do check the pricing to ensure you don't use a service longer than is needed.
We have applied for Microsoft Non For Profit program and we received credits.
How to apply the credits to Azure?
I have a new account with access to a fresh portal.azure.com. I haven't created any subscription yet because I don't want to cause any confusion nor use a credit card if unnecessary.
We had the same issue. We were given non-profit status, but when I logged in to the non-profit portal (https://nonprofit.microsoft.com/), Azure offer was not available among other offerings (Office365, Linkedin for nonprofits, Github for nonprofits, Training for nonprofits). I contacted Microsoft support and they sent me this link that I used to create a free Azure subscription:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0036p/
I am new to Azure. I have create Azure free account.
I like to migrate production database to Azure Cloud, and found Managed Instance as perfect choice (as per documentation). Before migration i want test it out, but not sure if this service is free or not.
It shows Subscription as Free Trial and
in Pricing Tier section it shows 16vCore and 32GB Storage selected.
So, my question is that - will i be charged if i create SQL Server Managed Instance in trail period?
While using the trial period your credit card won't be charged. When the trial ends, if the product is still in Preview, you will enjoy that it cost half the price. At the time of GA it will have its full price.
While you use it with the trial account, you may noticed that you cannot create a managed instance in all regions where is currently available. That is normal while you are using the trial/evaluation account.
If you are wrongly charged for any reason, create a billing support ticket which is free. You can also create a billing support ticket to confirm the information here provided.
I have a non-commercial small project built on top of Parse Server. I really like it and don't want it to die, but since it makes me no money I don't want to spend anything on it neither.
Free plan of Parse suits me tottally. 30req/s is ok for me (I don't even cross 5req/s I guess).
Is there a service which supports Parse migration that can allow me to stay on the same (or at least close) pricing policy?
Microsoft Azure announced support for Parse. Azure App Service does have free plans but there will probably be some minimal costs (probably pennies) for ancillary storage services and bandwidth. I would suggest starting a 1 month free Azure trial and seeing how it goes if you don't already have Azure credits through an MSDN subscription.
I just activated my Visual Studio Professional with MSDN and it is telling me now that I have $200 to spend,
my question is:
is this will take $200 from my credit card after the month is over, or this is an offer, and can I use and rely on windows azure using these $200 monthly or this is a limited time offer and will expire after few months? if it is limited so I can't transfer my live websites on azure.
The information provided by #hhaggan is off a bit. If you read this page containing the benefits details for Visual Studio Professional with MSDN, you'll see the following:
For the first month after activation of your benefit, you receive $200
of Windows Azure credits. After the first month, you receive $50 of
Windows Azure credits every month
So it's not a continued $200 monthly.
I couldn't tell if you're intending to use your MSDN Azure benefit for dev/test or production. These Azure credits are for dev/test purposes, and not for production, as documented on the abovementioned web page. Under Use Rights:
Windows Azure MSDN benefit is intended for development and test
purposes. We reserve the right to suspend any instance (VM or cloud
service) that runs continuously for more than 120 hours or if we
determine that the instance is being used for production. Production
workloads must be run on regular subscriptions.
The MSDN Subscriber will have free of charge Windows Azure account that worth 200$ per month. it all depends on your usage, you can use all the resources in one day, one week or even with the best consumption use your resources for the whole month, however if you exceed the limit it will not charge you. the Credit card used here is mainly to provide a guaranteed identity. the offer should be for the whole year of subscription.
I hope this helps you let me know if you need anything else.
