@pfaffman and @LiveLikeLastDay good work getting it running on azure. 🙂

I’ve installed discourse several times on azure and it works great. Just wanted to say that yes they can have [expensive Linux VM hosting](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/linux/) (A1 v2 2GB is $26.79+/month) compared to digital ocean, but if you apply for their [BizSpark program](https://bizspark.microsoft.com/) you can get 2-3 years worth of $150/month in Azure credits 💸 so it might actually be the cheapest hosting solution.
