Azure Compute – Virtual Machines

• Virtual Machine Life Cycle (States): This is for on-demand instances. Refer Here
  
• In Azure when we stop the vm from portal or from cli we are deallocating

Azure Virtual Machine connectivity

• In the last session we had spoken about ssh and rdp
• Azure allows to connect to Azure VMS using
  • Native SSH or RDP
  • SSH using Azure CLI
  • Bastion
• Bastion is considered to be safe as we need not expose RDP and SSH Ports to all ips
  
• Enterprise Clients prefer using Bastion for connecting vms’s securely
• Note: Refer Here for using Bastion over native clients
• After deploying bastion
  
  

Azure Virtual Machine – Extra’s

• Reset Passwords: Help -> Reset Passwords
  
• We can run the commands in Azure VMs directly without credentials if you have virtual machine administrator rights by using run command
  
  
  
• Azure Vms have agents which make this possible
• Auto Shutdowns

Exercise

• Create an Azure Virtual Machine and then
  • Reset Password
  • Install java into ubuntu from Run command sudo apt update && sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk -y
• Create an Azure Billing estimate for running
