Does the Introductory Special offer allow me to use the Windows Azure platform for free?
The Introductory Special comes with a limited amount per month of compute hours, storage, data transfers, a SQL Azure database (for the initial 3 months only), AppFabric Service Bus connections and Access Control transactions at no charge. This small amount of service each month at no charge is sufficient to try out your application for a short duration but is not adequate to run an application 24 x 7. For example, this offer comes with 25 compute hours each month. This does allow you to deploy a small application and see how it runs in the cloud but is not sufficient to allow for extensive testing or for running your application for any extended period of time. If you do not want to be charged, be sure to monitor your usage carefully and to delete your deployments after trying out your application. Please visit our offers page for full details on what is included in this offer and for details on our other offers.
