Are there 1 core machines available?

Hi,

So as part of development for our game it would be nice to be able to keep a server up and running for a decent portion of the month.
This doesn't seem possible at the minute, as the available free VMs are all 2 core machines, so we will run out of free core-hours in 2 weeks.
We only need 1 server running, so is there any way we can have just a single core running our server throughout the month?

Many thanks

Could you please share the screenshot of all available free virtual machines listed in your title? And, may I have your title id?

Thank you for your reply. We only seem to have Dasv4, with 2, 4, 8 or 16 cores (see screenshot). Our title ID is A0FD5. Are we correct in thinking that running a Dasv4 2 core machine for a month would go over the free allowance?

Refferring to this blog post: Azure PlayFab Multiplayer Servers includes free monthly AMD VMs usage evaluation, titles with multiplayer servers enabled after April 1 will only have free monthly Dasv4 VMs for usage evaluation. And, yes, since the minimum VM core size is 2, you will have 750/2 = 375 free monthly compute hours, therefore running a Dasv4 2 core machine for a whole month will go over the free allowance.

That's a pity, we just wanted to run one server on one core for a month. So in conclusion, the answer is no. I hope that this is made possible again some time in the future. Thank you for your replies!
