Using the free credits that come with an Apache MSDN subscription, you can run an Azure VM as a 'large' instance for about half a month, and the if you switch it to a 'medium' instance - reboot required - you can run it for the remainder of the month without incurring extra (real) cost. This is how I've been managing the Mustella VM. The reboot is not particularly a problem, as the Flash Player and Java (on which Jenkins runs) do tend to clog up the machine, it seems, requiring a reboot just about every week.
