Hi@SteelTltan,

If you are a beginner in Cloud, then I suggest you to go with GCP cloud. First thing you will get 300 dollar credits in your account that you can use for your initial testing. After that if it works according to your requirement then deply your environment there.

Hi@SteelTltan,

Yes, you can find a boot disk for the Windows server as well. The cost depends on your Ram, CPU, or Hard-Disk, etc. The more you use more they charge.
