We pay a monthly cost for every Ubuntu VM that we have. Perhaps there is some "get X free VM's" included with a certain Office365 license or something; but ours are certainly not free. You could probably make the exact same calculation as they have done here. How long can rent an Ubuntu VM in Azure for the price of buying actual hardware running Ubuntu etc.

I don't doubt that the VMs themselves cost money. I only doubt that the ubuntu images cost money. In other words, the cost for the VMs should be the same if you installed debian (or whatever home rolled distro).

  Yes, no additional cost to install Ubuntu on the VM's.
