Preferences btw various Azure EspoCRM images

[davide445]

Want to try EspoCRM to be used both for the NPO I'm managing and for personal usage, installing it on Azure trough a ready to go image.

On Azure marketplace I find three different providers: Bitnami (free+infra costs), Apps4Rent (0.005$/h+infra), Cognosys (same, choice btw CentOS and Ubuntu).

This will be the first time I try to deploy a cloud image (so far just used Azure instances for compute interactive GUI applications I installed by myself), so that wanted to ask if anyone has tried any of them or has idea if there is any specific reason to choose one or the other.

I had client which was using bitnami without issues. If you're using Azure, i think the best way is to setup linux machine with LAMP and download EspoCRM from official website. But of course i understand that using already prepared image is easier. I'm not sure which image EspoCRM support

I have tried setting up using Bitnami and all seems fine so far. I have scarse competencies in sys admin and even less time to do this kind of things, so yes having a click and deploy solution is a huge advantage. Thanks
