Microsoft Azure

Windows Azure and SQL Azure enable you to build, host and scale applications in Microsoft datacenters.

Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure both also offer service credit at sign-up. Google Cloud offers $300 in credit to use on any Google Cloud Platform services. However, your 12-month free trial will end early if you spend all $300 in credit during that time. Microsoft Azure offers $200 in credit at sign-up, but only to spend during the first 30 days. On the plus side, spending all that credit doesn’t terminate your 12-month free trial period.
