How to create an account on Azure

How to create an account on Azure a step-by-step guide:

1. Go to the Azure website (https://azure.microsoft.com/) and click on the "Start free" button on the top right corner of the page. This will take you to the Azure sign-up page.

2. On the sign-up page, you'll need to select the type of subscription you want to use. Azure offers two types of subscriptions: a free trial and a pay-as-you-go subscription. If you're new to Azure, it's recommended to start with the free trial subscription, as it provides a limited amount of free services for the first 12 months.

3. Once you've selected your subscription type, you'll need to sign in with a Microsoft account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can create one by clicking the "Create one!" link. You can use any email address to create a Microsoft account.

4. After signing in or creating your Microsoft account, you'll need to provide some personal information and billing details. This includes your name, address, and credit card information. If you're signing up for a free trial subscription, you won't be charged unless you upgrade to a paid subscription.

5. You'll also need to agree to the terms and conditions and privacy statement before you can create your Azure account. Be sure to read these carefully before agreeing to them.

6. After completing the form, click the "Sign up" button to create your account. This will take you to the Azure dashboard, where you can start creating resources like virtual machines, storage accounts, and databases.

7. However, before you can start using Azure, you need to verify your account. You should receive an email from Microsoft Azure with a verification link. Click on the link to verify your account.

8. Once your account is verified, you can log in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com) and start creating resources.

In summary, to create an account on Azure, you need to select a subscription type, sign in or create a Microsoft account, provide personal information and billing details, agree to the terms and conditions and privacy statement, verify your account, and then log in to the Azure portal.
