It's not my Azure. :) But yes, this is nice and easy and Microsoft's
support is plenty, for now.
Two smallish issues:
- The support is until the end of 2018. But it will be either renewed,
or we'll have
  sg else instead. I guess.
- Using Azure is painful. But if we just need a Linux server with ssh
access, that
  is mostly OK. :)

Do you want me to create a server? Which Debian version is best? Will
we be building
in Docker?
