An instance of Ubuntu from a pre-prepared image, in exchange for $0.00 and your contact details.
The pre-prepared image part does perpetually have value - it saves you installing from a standard ISO and Azure-ifying the result, or having your own image pre-prepared from earlier.
It is a short while since I last spun up a fresh VM in Azure so I'm can't remember if this arrangement is made clear at all, though I do remember getting an email like the one discussed at least once last year.
- falcolas 6y agoIf this is so common (or valuable), why am I not charged for an image of Ubuntu optimized for Docker when I pull it from Docker hub? Or when I download the various usage-optimized ISOs from Canonical's own site? This is exceptional, and in exceptionally poor taste.
- mr_cyborg 6y agoThis is exactly how Docker works too - they recently rate limited anonymous accounts, and by signing up for the free plan you agree to very similar terms and conditions in return for a higher pull rate limit.
