What Is Azure Virtual Machine?

One essential part of Microsoft Azure's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) portfolio are Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). You can run apps and services in the cloud thanks to their scalable computing resources. Here are a few salient characteristics and advantages:

1. On-Demand Computing: You can scale virtual machines (VMs) up or down in response to demand.

2. Customizable: To suit your unique requirements, select from a range of operating systems (Windows, Linux) and configurations.

3. Flexible Pricing: For long-term savings, pay only for the compute resources you use, with the option to reserve instances.

4. Azure Service Integration: VMs can be effortlessly integrated with other Azure services, including Azure Networking, Azure Storage, and Azure Active Directory.

5. High Availability: To guarantee that your apps are always accessible, Azure provides solutions for load balancing and redundancy.

6. Security Features: Network security groups, Azure Security Center, and other integrated security tools and services are offered by Azure.

7. Global Reach: For improved performance and compliance, install virtual machines (VMs) across several Azure regions globally.

Azure virtual machines are perfect for a number of purposes, such as enterprise application running, development and testing environments, and application hosting.

Creating and connecting to an Azure Virtual Machine involves several steps. Here’s a simplified guide to help you through the process:

• Step 1: Sign in to Azure Portal

• Step 4: Once you have an Active Subscription you select.

• Step 5: You also Create a New Resource Group

• Step 6: Create A Virtual Machine Name

• Step 7: Choose A Region from the list of regions Azure Provides

• Step 8: Set Ur Security Type To Be Standard

• Step 9: Choose An Operating Syetem Image For your VM

• Step 10: Take Note of the size. How big u want the storage of your VM to be depending on the workload

• Step 11: We Need To Create Our Username and Password. By default Azure Uses password to be password123#

• Step 12: Select Inbound Ports By default, access to the virtual machine is restricted to sources in the same virtual network, and traffic from Azure load balancing solutions.

• Step 13: You Review And Create

• Step 14: You go to resource

• Step 15: You Click On Connect To Lunch the VM

• Step 16: By Default, we are going to connect to the VM using RDP. To do this we need to first need to Download The RDP so we can Launch the VM

• Step 17: After Downloading The RDP file then we can open and connect to launch the VM
