OMG. I tried to log in today to turn off the instance that I started. There is no link (that I could find) on [https://azure.microsoft.com/](https://azure.microsoft.com/) to actually log in to an account (pro tip: it’s not the “my account” link). Then I found my way to [https://manage.windowsazure.com/](https://manage.windowsazure.com/) which is also not how to find the instance I started up yesterday; maybe that’s just VMs that run Windows? Finally, I found [https://portal.azure.com/](https://portal.azure.com/) and was able to shut down the VM I cranked up yesterday.

My gut reaction is that they’d need to send me a check for $150/month for me to learn to use their services, but that’s probably unfair.
