You can activate free Azure benefits with the following different options,

Microsoft Learn Azure Sandbox subscription Microsoft Learn is an online learning platform where you can gain practical knowledge about Azure by completing a bunch of courses and hands-on labs. Unlike the other learning platforms, it provides a free sandbox (dedicated subscription) that you can use to complete the courses



Visual Studio subscription benefits [MCT, MVP, FTE, MPN, NFR] Visual Studio subscribers can use Microsoft Azure at no extra charge. With your monthly Azure DevTest individual credit, Azure is your personal sandbox for dev and test. You can create virtual machines, cloud services, and other Azure resources. Credit amounts vary based on subscription level.

Microsoft no longer offers Visual Studio Professional Annual subscriptions and Visual Studio Enterprise Annual subscriptions in Cloud Subscriptions. There will be no change to existing customers' experience and ability to renew, increase, decrease, or cancel their subscriptions.

If someone in your organization purchases, subscriptions for your organization, contact your Visual Studio subscription administrator and request a subscription that provides the monthly credit that you need.
