Creating a Virtual Machine
Explore how to create Azure virtual machines through both the Azure portal and CLI, understanding key configurations such as size, disk types, and networking. Learn the importance of selecting the right VM type for various computing needs, managing IP addresses, and performing essential VM operations like starting, SSH access, and deletion.
Why Azure virtual machines?
VMs give us the option to run applications without actually requiring us to buy the actual hardware. We might need virtual servers mainly for the following reasons:
-
Deploying the applications.
-
Developing and testing the solutions.
If we want to buy virtual servers for a limited duration, Azure virtual servers are the best! However, we still have to manage activities like configuration and patching the VMs. Azure offers a vast range of servers, including various operating systems and storage capabilities. Azure Virtual Machines regions are also widespread globally, so we should choose the location closest to us.
