How to create a virtual machine in Azure
With the Azure CLI, you can use the az vm create
command to create a virtual machine
RESOURCE_GROUP="myResourceGroup"
LOCATION=eastus
VM_NAME=myVM
VM_IMAGE=Ubuntu2204
VM_SIZE=Standard_B1s
VM_ADMIN_USERNAME=username
VM_ADMIN_PASSWORD=Password@000
az vm create \
--resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP \
--name $VM_NAME \
--image $VM_IMAGE \
--size $VM_SIZE \
--admin-username $VM_ADMIN_USERNAME \
--admin-password $VM_ADMIN_PASSWORD
And this will be the result if everything goes right
