AWS free tier vs. Microsoft Azure Free tier.
First point I want to make is I don't like solving problems for the sake of solving problems. The other is that I wanted to use MS Azure. After reading those two sentences you can probably figure out which service I got my site up on. I am not a good programmer yet and I am doing this by myself while at home watching the kids. All I have are docs and youtube.
As of now I got my 0.6.0 version site up at http://sample-env.bfa2ww7dhi.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/. 0.6.0 is absolutely arbitrary. I will make it a deployment version at some point and take the console logs out but it is up now. It is a node.js stack. One little hitch where I zipped the entire project file that housed server.js and package.json and my environment couldn't find them.
Previous to this I spent 2 days reading docs on the MS Azure website. I was watching the kids and it isn't like I was focused like a laser beam and for a developer I am probably terrible at reading docs. That being said there was not even a start point. I eventually figured out I needed Powershell and only because another website told me to. I think I need it but it also may already be installed. So I find out it is and start it up. Kids come and... That's how far I am. I may try that path again. I have been working off of a few sites describing their experience. One is this one: One does not simply run node.js on ms azure.
That site and this site are starting about the same time. Here goes.
