For those of you out there wanting to host and control your own git server in the cloud, the Azure marketplace has a Gitlab Community Edition VM ready to deploy, see here. Of course, gitlab.com takes away the need to host and removes the cost involved, but if you want control over where your repository is located and the underlying VM, then this looks like a good option.
I've spun this up using the newly available A1_V2 VM size, which handles light load amicably. So for less then £20 you can have control over all those features that the community edition offers, including SSH and HTTPS access.
The gitlab CE documentation is a little outdated, but still good enough to help you configure the instance and get going with your own git repo.
