Extend Azure credits (Action prior May 10th) about build HOT 4 OPEN

This was handled by our Microsoft contacts in the past. We'll handle it.

@mhdawson I don't think we'll need anything from the Foundation for this, but happy to keep anyone relevant in the loop.

@bensternthal you can contact me instead of João, since I'm working on this now. Thanks in advance.

@joaocgreis I believe you might have handled these in the past.

@UlisesGascon I like the idea of getting the Foundation involved in renewing these kinds of things. Anybody object to that?

Hi folks, As many of you know, the foundation is working this year to consolidate services. Part of that is arranging more formal relationships with our vendors who are donating services.

We are trying to avoid the situation where free services are dependent on an individual at a company.. and that person leaves :)

For Azure, we have a really good relationship with Microsoft and are working on getting Azure credits. I'd like to see if we could get nodejs under that program. Microsoft has been a really great partner.

@joaocgreis I'll reach out to you on slack for more details. Note this does not mean the foundation takes over your account or anything like that, it can just be that we handle ensuring you have enough free credits to do what you need to do.
