While most of the tooling necessary for working on CPython is freely available (as Visual Studio Community), this will also include OS images and Azure credits.
For reference, the Azure credit has been enough to me to run a Windows 8.1 buildbot for the past several years at no cost to me.
Yeah, it's pretty substantial ($150/mo). The subscription also comes with multiple free licenses for every version of Windows, which is incredibly useful if you have a Mac or Linux system but need to spin up a Windows dev VM.
Definitely seconded. I've been running several Windows VMs for testing using these licenses for several years now.
Many thanks to MS for providing these for free. Now, I only wish Apple would have something similar for macOS... :-)
