Special Offer For Tech Startups:
As an early stage tech startup you might be eligible for BizSpark which can provide up to $120,000 in free Azure credits. These credits can be applied to the VMs deployed from the Marketplace. Though if the publisher charges any costs above the base compute cost, you will have to pay for this directly, credits cannot be used in that case.
