A full 6 month subscription to Opsgility is provided. Add in other features such as 3 month full subscriptions to LinkedIn Learning, PluralSight, Datacamp, and Xamarin University, and the value grows. Microsoft is practically giving away Visual Studio at this price as the Azure credits total more then the subscription.
The Professional subscription is a decent offer even if you don't use Visual Studio. An Enterprise subscription isn't as easy to recommend to a person who is only concerned with learning Azure. This is nice, but there's still another $1,200 of yearly value a customer has to find in the remaining features. Enterprise entitles subscription holders to $150 a month in Azure credit for a yearly savings of $1,800. As it relates to Azure, however, buying the $3,000 a year Enterprise version isn't such a cut and dry prospect.
The Enterprise version comes with all the features of Professional in a addition to several other bells and whistles. The subscriptions are offered in both Professional ($539 per year) and Enterprise ($2,999 per year). Visual Studio subscriptions are a re-branding of the MSDN subscriptions of the past. Most people experimenting with Azure will run up a bill in excess of $50 per month at some point as their skill and curiosity grows. Microsoft is giving away $600 ($50 x 12 months) worth of Azure for $539. The annual subscription for Visual Studio is $539 and includes $50 in Azure credits. Subscribing to Microsoft Visual Studio Professional for 1 year is a great option for anyone considering putting time into Azure as a learning platform.
