Welcome to Azure Pass

Azure Pass is a system that allows attendes of events like this one to get a temporary Azure subscription. We will walk you through obtaining your personal and temporary subscription so that you can try out some of the material of this workshop.

0. Get the code

Someone from our team will reach out to you and give you a code. This code will be used to redeem your Azure subscription.

This Azure subscription will expire by the end of this week. This subscription is pre-loaded with $50. No credit card required.
