I think he has the same MSDN as me, which should give him enough 'credits' to run a medium sized VM for ever... I currently run the Mustella VM as a large instance for about half a month, then switch it to medium for the remainder. A bit of a hassle, but worth it to run Mustella smoothly, I think. A 'regular' Jenkins server should run perfectly fine on a medium instance.
