i personally wouldn't touch managed cloud services with a 50ft pole 😜
i've done that before and the bills kept piling on as usage increased.
now i'm much happier with DIY vps or dedicated boxes where i have total control.
it's more work but waaaaay cheaper in the longrun.
noisy neighbors are a real issue on the cloud and you won't get the full performance you pay for.
also you'd get better performance with a $5 vps than with most free-tiers of cloud services.
in case anybody's interested, here's some concise instructions for getting a linux server ready for deploying a .net core app in less than 10mins.

"i personally wouldn't touch managed cloud services with a 50ft pole" - YEP!

"bills kept piling on as usage increased" - This is what happened to me. The pricing is crazy too.

Thank you.
