Steps in creating a window 11 VM on Azure
Advantages of an Azure VM to organizations.
Introduction :
An Azure Virtual Machine(VM) is a scalable computing resource provided by Microsoft Azure that allows users to run applications and services in the cloud. Some key points about Azure VMs are :
a) Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS):
Azure VMs are part of Microsoft’s IaaS offerings , giving users the
users the flexibility to deploy and manage virtualized instances
without the need for on-premises hardware.
b)Customizability: Azure VMs can be customized to fit specific needs
including CPU, memory, storage and networking configurations.
c)Scalability: Azure provides tools for scaling VMs up and down based
on demand, allowing for cost and efficiency and performance optima-
zation.
d)Deployment Options: VMs can be deployed using Azure’s portal, comm-
and-line tools , or automation tools like Azure Resource Manager te-
mplates.
e)Uses: Common uses include hosting applications, databases, develo-
pment environments, and running complex computations or simulations.
f)Integration: Azure VMs integrate with other Azure services such as
Azure storage, Azure Virtual Networks, and Azure Active Directory.
STEPS BY STEPS DETAILS OF HOW TO DEPLOY AND CONNECT VM ON AZURE
Deploying and connecting a virtual Machine (VM) on Azure involves several
steps . For the purpose of this assignment I am going to create a VM named UWACO-VM.
Step 1: Sign in Azure Portal
create an Azure account in the Azure portal with email and a password and signed in.
Step 2: Create a Virtual Machine
a) Once the account is created with an active subscription, navigated to the left-hand menu and click on “Virtual Machines”.
b) The basic Tab was open:
The basic open up to choose
. Subscription
. Resource Group Name which in this case i choose UWACOM-RG
. Virtual Machine Name : UWACO-VM
. Region was selected to : West Europe
. Availability options: No infrastructure redundancy required
. Security Type was set : Standard
. Image was set on : Window 11
. Choose size
. Create Administrative Username and Password to connect to the VM.
STEP 3: Disk
. Was left on default.
STEP 4: Networking
. Was left on default.
STEP 5: Management
. Was left on default.
STEP 6 : Monitoring
.Was left on default.
STEP 7: Advance
. Was left on default.
STEP 8 : Tags
.Was left on default.
STEP 9 : Review and Create
. Validation was passed.
STEP 10 : Create
.This initiated deployment.
STEP 10 : Deployment Completed
STEP 11: Click on go to Resource
. ThSis displayed the image below –
STEP 12: Connect
. This connect to the VM’s ip address and information about the VM.
STEP 12 : The file was downloaded
. This leads to putting in password for UWACO
. A new window was opened meaning the process was successful and a VM running on Window 11 was created.
