<p>If you weren’t aware, <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/member-offers/credit-for-visual-studio-subscribers/">Visual Studio subscribers have free monthly Azure credits</a>, that are ideal for experimenting with and learning about Azure services. When you activate this benefit, it creates a separate Azure subscription with a monthly credit balance that renews each month while you remain an active Visual Studio subscriber. If the credits run out before the end of the month the subscription is suspended until more credits are available. No surprises, no cost, and <strong>no credit card</strong> required for any of it!</p>
<p>The table below shows you how many Azure credits you get based on your type of Visual Studio subscription:</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="408"><strong>Visual Studio subscription type</strong></td>
<td width="138"><strong>Monthly Azure Credits</strong></td>
