Does anyone have/use the Azure credit from work's Visual Studio subscription?
At work my team have individual Visual Studio subscriptions, and I noticed under the benefits included there is $50 Azure credit per month
Does anyone else have (and use) this for personal stuff? Is it a bad idea?
Obviously it would just be idling anyway as is the LET way, but the account is registered to my work email so would be employer be notified in any way?

I suppose it's intended to supplement your Visual Studio experience.
For example, you can compile software there.
When the company asks, you just say it's for compiling and testing.
I have the same visual studio professional license from work and it comes with the $50 monthly Azure credits. Although the license is registered to my work email, I was able to add the azure credits to my existing personal azure account as a new subscription. Currently using the credits for cloud storage backup.
Great. Thank you
I ever have 150$ per month for the vs subscription in previous company. I used it for self bkog and some private vpn and never got any warning at all
You can use it for personal stuff provided that you stick to the Azure ToS. Employers can see some stuff like credit usage but definitely not the stuff inside VMs or other resources you create.
I mean anything as long as its not Linux iso's
not that anyone would do that
