So I want to host a small sql server prototyping database, a core 2 web api and deploy a wpf app via click once. Naturally I turn to MS and Azure, create a MS account and give them all my details. The first thing I want to do is transfer the existing database to Azure SQL Server. Go through all the steps to create the database (very simple process) and note the cost per month 22.66 AUD! and that is just for the database, they probably want more for hosting the web api and the clickonce deployment. When I can use someone like A2 hosting for 5 USD a month they are not going to get much traction with me I'm afraid.

Just get a static and a box and host it yourself.

Except... I really don't want to nursemaid a web site any more than necessary.

The so-called "free" Azure crap they give you with the MSDN membership is an utter scam. Doing almost anything invokes a "paid subscription required" message.

They keep preaching about how cheap it is! hmmmm :~
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
Their sales department has made contact so it will be interesting to see if I got it wrong or they really are that expensive.

I would be interested in a follow up to this. 1) What is the real cost? 2) How is it that what you have been lead to believe wrong?

It turns out I am just getting the sales spam, no follow up after I told them they were outrageously expensive compared to other options. I did not get past the initial implementation of a sql database as they told me the monthly cost after the free period was $22+ so I don't know what the ongoing cost would actually be for a full service suite. I guess we are not the target market, too small so there is no investment by the sales team, can't really blame them.
