Document Azure's FOSS credits program

[ekohl]

https://opensource.microsoft.com/azure-credits may be interesting for us.

Notes from Infrastructure SIG:

• Azure asks for who our sponsors are and what they provide and what we would use Azure for
• Lasts for one year and is renewed each year through review process

I'm waiting for a response from the Azure FOSS Program.

We got accepted into the program, this give us credits to run infrastructure and another Azure resources.

I'll start to reach out to some members of the community that work in the azure plugins.

Should we do a public announcement? And also add Azure/MS as sponsor in the sponsor section?

• sponsors page: yes
• foreman-infra README
• announce on discourse to tell developers they can ask for access (e.g. azure_rm would be a good candidate)
• nested virt might work, let's try
• credits are given per month, we have membership for a year, re-eval afterwards
• if used for pipelines, need to have a good eye on usage

@Odilhao do your job!!! ;)

Nested virt work, it's not documented in any azure doc or blog post, but we can just install libvirtd and run vms.
