This introductory offer will last for 8 months from the time you sign up. After that, you'll cancel your introductory account and sign up for the ongoing MSDN benefit based on your subscription level. The easiest way to cancel your introductory account is to set it to not "auto-renew".
Think of "compute" as an instance of your application running in the cloud. So with 750 hours per month, you can keep a single instance running non-stop all month long. Or run 2 compute instances for two weeks a month. Or 4 for a week a piece.
