Perhaps as a heavily discounted "Azure Development Only Instance" add on, only available to subscribers over a certain level? Maybe they could restrict it so the instances are only available from a specified /24 subnet or small number of fixed IPs that you nominate as a part of the discount 'deal'? That would let you learn and play with Azure on a 24x365 basis if you had a need to muck around (but would not meet the OP's 'production' need). Then again, if you want to learn then the local fabric is fine. -- David Connors (da...@codify.com) Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd - www.codify.com Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
