They do have a trial option. You can get the first 30 days for free.
But they also have a pay as you go option with a free webapp package.

@g_campbell Any success on Azure, I am also looking for a kind of tutorial ....

Installing on Azure should be identical to anywhere else. We use CentOS 7 on Linode here (Rackspace before that, but we've found nothing that comes close to Linode in CPU performance or IOPS) but doing CentOS 7 on Azure would be, quite literally, exactly the same. So while I've not tested this particular app on Azure, I know it will work.
If you want to use Azure's PaaS option, the issue would be the lack of NoSQL database support, I believe.

Same tutorials from other places will work the same.

Hey @scottalanmiller, ever tried installing NodeBB on one of those fancy new $5 servers at Linode?
I bet they'd run quite well too, at twice the memory of the comparable DigitalOcean server...I have not, our instance is too big. But Linode blows everyone away with performance at the same vCPU/RAM numbers. So they'd probably run great.

Old, i know but still relevant.
One important thing to consider is not to use mongodb. I don't know if Azure has a strange config that doesn't go well with nodebb's standard config or if it's just a bug in their current version (they use 3.2, current is 3.6 on Ubuntu, 4.2 on Windows).
It works with redis (at least connection from my VM succeeded).
Also julienstroheker managed to get an older version of nodebb running in an azure App Service. So basically there is a way
