Creating a Virtual Machine and Developing a Web Server on Microsoft Azure
In this assignment we are assigned to set up a virtual machine (VM) on Microsoft Azure cloud.
First we need to configure it as a web server and then host a web page successfully on it. We took
the advantages from the Microsoft Azure’s student account benefits and utilized the free credits of
100$ that Azure provided. This step by step process helped me in learning to use cloud resources
effectively. In this process first I created and configured a VM and installed the necessary servers
according to sir’s instructions and deployed a simple html web page of Welcome message. This
help me in gaining experience not only about Microsoft Azure but also helped me in gaining a
little bit experience about cloud computing and server hosting. After doing this, it has motivated
and encourage me to jump into the field of devops.
When I clicked on create, I got interface like this. Here it shows that our development process of
virtual machine will be continued after submitting deveploment. And we need to wait until its
completion.
After waiting for some time, I got interface like this. Here it shows that our development process
of virtual machine is in progress. And we need to wait until its completion.
I waited for few minutes and got this interface and pop which shows that my VM is successfully
deployed. So, till I successfully deployed VM. Now, I will move for further steps.
4. Connected to the Virtual Machine
Downloaded the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) file for the VM connection.
Successfully connected to the VM using the RDP file.
5. Configured the Server
Opened Server Manager on the VM.
Created a server group.
Selected Web Server (IIS) as a role to install.
Started the installation process, which completed in 3–4 minutes.
