There is a special edition of Windows Server 2016 on Azure called Windows Server 2016 Datacenter - with Containers which costs exactly the same as 2012 R2. Azure doesn't allow for nested virtualization, so prices for Windows VM's without extra software are equal.

    you can choose HDD instead of SSD, which would cut cost a lot (you would be able to select A1 or A2 for your server). Or you could switch to linux with HDD, that would be even cheaper – 4c74356b41 Dec 06 '16 at 12:24
