Ever since I started using Azure DevOps for source control, I always looked at Azure hosting as a scary monster! It looked huge and menacing. I would think of it as a great tool for someone who spends many hours learning all the ins and outs of it.

I decided to take the plunge into Azure hosting since you get 12 months free (well... maybe not - see below). It also seems to be be the way the development world is going, so I'd better jump on the band wagon. I started by creating a free Azure account.
