So the way that we set up an account with Azure
is we open a web browser, and we're going to go to azure.com.
This is the same web portal that we previously downloaded the
tools, but now in the top right, you'll notice a free trial.
I'm going to go ahead and click on Free Trial, and then Try it now.
I'm going to enter the same Microsoft ID I used to set up Visual Studio for
my Azure Account, and then click Sign In. Now you need to verify your account.
So what we're going to do, is I'm going to send myself a text message.
And click send.
I'm going to go ahead and enter the code.
So now that I've entered the code, I'm going to
click Verify Code, and I get a green check box.
After I've verified my code, I'm going to enter my payment information,
Agree to the Windows Azure agreement, and click Purchase.
I'll then be taken to the Account portal.
If you look here up at the top you'll see my account.
I have subscriptions and Free Trial.
I'm going to go ahead and click on Free Trial, just to verify everything.
And you'll notice I have 30 days left,
a $200 credit remaining And I have the ability,
right here, to upgrade my account, should I
choose to do so during my free trial period.
I can also change my payment method, edit my subscription
details, or cancel my account directly from this account page.
Next, I'll show you how to make your way around the new updated Azure portal.
