If this sounds like something you’re interested in, you may be able to get access to the service right now. Access to the Azure Network Watcher preview is available in the US West Central, US North, and US West regions, with the other Azure-supported regions coming soon. It’s free with your subscription, so you can feel free to poke around all you want without spending another dime.
