Microsoft Azure A1 v2, $ 31.39/mo. on Linux/Windows Cloud

Av2 Standard is the latest generation of A-series virtual machines with similar CPU performance and faster disk. These virtual machines are suitable for development workloads, build servers, code repositories, low-traffic websites and web applications, micro services, early product experiments, and small databases. Like the prior A Standard generation, Av2 virtual machines will include load balancing and auto-scaling at no additional charge.

Azure Virtual Machines gives you the flexibility of virtualization for a wide range of computing solutions with support for Linux, Windows Server, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM, SAP, and more. All current generation Virtual Machines include load balancing and auto-scaling at no cost. For optimal performance, we recommend pairing your Virtual Machines with Managed Disks.

Support for certain Linux virtual machine images in the Azure Marketplace is available from the publisher. In some cases, it’s provided by the publisher for free. In other cases, we charge by the minute for the right to receive support. The total charge for running a Linux virtual machine is the support rate (if applicable) plus the Linux compute rate. Microsoft does not provide support for Linux images in the Azure Marketplace.

IP address options

Every Azure Cloud service containing one or more Azure Virtual Machines is automatically assigned a free dynamic virtual IP (VIP) address. For an additional charge, you can also get:

Instance-level public IP addresses—A dynamic public IP address (PIP) that is assigned to a virtual machine for direct access.
Reserved IP addresses—A public IP address that can be reserved and used as a VIP address.
Load-balanced IP addresses—Additional load-balanced VIP addresses that can be assigned to an Azure Cloud Service containing one or more Azure Virtual Machines.
