Lab 7: Create a Virtual Machine using Microsoft Azure and access it remotely.

Objective:
To Create a Virtual Machine using Microsoft Azure and access it remotely.

Theory:
Creating a Virtual Machine (VM) in Microsoft Azure allows users to run applications in a scalable cloud
environment. Azure provides various VM configurations with different operating systems and resource
allocations. After deployment, remote access is enabled via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) for
Windows or SSH for Linux, allowing users to manage the VM from any location securely.

Procedure:
Step 1: Login to Azure Portal

 Open a web browser and go to Azure Portal.

 Sign in with your Azure credentials.


Step 2: Create a Virtual Machine

 Click on Create a resource.

 Select Virtual Machine under Compute.

 Choose the following configurations:


1. Subscription: Select your active subscription.
2. Resource Group: Create a new one or use an existing one.
3. Virtual machine name: Provide a unique name.
4. Region: Select the nearest data center.
5. Image: Choose Windows Server (for RDP) or Ubuntu (for SSH).
6. Size: Select an appropriate VM size (Standard_B1s recommended for basic use).
7. Administrator Username & Password (for Windows) or SSH Key Pair (for Linux).

 Click Review + Create and then Create.


Step 3: Configure Networking

 Navigate to the Networking tab in the VM settings.

 Ensure RDP (3389) is enabled for Windows VM or SSH (22) for Linux VM.

 Click Create to deploy the virtual machine.


Step 4: Access the Virtual Machine

 For Windows VM (Using RDP):

 In Azure Portal, go to Virtual Machines.

 Select your created VM and click Connect > RDP.

 Download the .rdp file and open it.

 Enter the credentials and connect.


For Linux VM (Using SSH):

 Open a terminal.\

 Run the following command:


1. ssh username@public-ip-address

 Enter your password or use the private key if SSH key authentication is enabled.
Step 5: Verify connection and perform basic operations

Conclusion:
In this lab, we successfully created a Virtual Machine in Microsoft Azure and accessed it remotely
using RDP or SSH. This demonstrated how cloud-based VMs provide flexibility, scalability, and secure
remote access, making them essential for modern cloud computing solutions.
