in Azure.

You can modify the VM size as per your need and requirement. Azure provides general purpose,
compute optimized, memory optimized etc. For learning purpose I prefer to use general purpose
machine.

The cost of each VM and specification could be seen. However the VMs are charged on hourly
basis.

Prepared By: Muhammad Junaid Mirza


Provide the vm size and password. You can also provide a Windows Server machine license if
you have any, to reduce cost or else set to No and move to another Step.

Provide login Username and password for the VM.

RDP port allows me to take the remote desktop of the VM. You can select the ports as per your
need also if you want you can select none here or configure port afterwards.

STEP 10:
Before moving to review+create section you will also go through tags section.
You apply tags to your Azure resources, resource groups, and subscriptions to logically organize
them. Each tag consists of a name and a value pair. It’s up to you if you want to add a tag or not.

In the review and create section you can see the pricing and other details of virtual machine to be
created. Click create.

Here you can see the process of deployment of your virtual machine. This process might take
some time so wait until it finishes.

Click on your VM
Start the VM and wait until the notification shows that the vm has started
Goto connect
In the RDP section download the RDP File enter credentials and your machine is ready to be
used.
