18. AZURE VIRTUAL MACHINE OVERVIEW
▪ Azure Virtual Machines (VM) is one of several types of on-demand, scalable computing resources that
Microsoft Azure offers.
▪ An Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualization without having to buy and maintain the physical
hardware that runs it. However, you still need to maintain the VM by performing tasks, such as configuring,
patching, and installing the software that runs on it.
▪ Azure virtual machines can be used in various ways.
▪ Development and test – Azure VMs offer a quick and easy way to create a computer with specific
configurations required to code and test an application.
▪ Applications in the cloud – Because demand for your application can fluctuate, it might make economic sense
to run it on a VM in Azure. You pay for extra VMs when you need them and shut them down when you don’t.
▪ Extended datacenter – Virtual machines in an Azure virtual network can easily be connected to your
organization’s network.

19. DIFFERENT WAYS TO CREATE A WINDOWS VIRTUAL MACHINE
▪ Azure portal
Using the Azure portal is a simple way to try out a virtual machine, especially if you're just starting out with Azure.
Create a VM from a specialized disk
Create a new VM by attaching a specialized managed disk as the OS disk using PowerShell. A specialized disk is a
copy of VHD from an existing VM that maintains the user accounts, applications and other state data from your
original VM.
▪ Template
Virtual machines require a combination of resources (such as a availability sets and storage accounts). Rather than deploying
and managing each resource separately, you can create an Azure Resource Manager template that deploys and provisions all of
the resources in a single, coordinated operation.
▪ Azure PowerShell
If you prefer working in a command shell, you can use Azure PowerShell.
▪ Visual Studio
Use Visual Studio to build, manage, and deploy VMs with the Azure Tools for Visual Studio and the Azure SDK.

20. AZURE VIRTUAL MACHINE PREREQUISITE AND ADD FEATURES
▪ Azure Subscription: Organize how the cloud services are accessed & controlled
how resources usage is reported ,billed and paid for.
▪ All the cloud services are belong to a subscription & it has his unique Subscription
ID.
▪ VM Machine Name/user Name/password.
▪ Resource Group: A Resource Group is a collection of resources that share the
same lifecycle, Permission, and policies.
▪ Location: Region, User want to deploy the VMs(East US, West US, japan etc.)
▪ Vms Disk Type (SSD/HDD): Premium Disk(SSD) are backed by solid state
drives and offers consistent, low latency performance. They provide the best
balance between prices and performance , and are ideal for I/O-intensive
application and production workloads. Standard disks(HDD) are backed by
magnetic drivers and are preferable for application where data is accessed
infrequently.
▪ VM SIZE : Configuration of your Azure VM(RAM, Cores, diskspace NLB etc.)
▪ Storage Account: Used to storing the files, Website, Virtual machine etc.
▪ Subnet: A subnet is range of IP addresses in your virtual network , Which can be
used to isolate virtual machines from each other or form the internet.
▪ VPN Connectivity (Subnet/Public IP,NSG)
Virtual network are logically isolated from each other in azure. You can configure
their IP address range, subnets, route tables, gateways and security setting
much like traditional network in your data centers. Virtual machines in the same
virtual network can access each other by default.
▪ Public IP: Use a public IP address if you want to communicate with your virtual
machine form outside the virtual network.

21. AZURE VIRTUAL MACHINE SETTINGS & FEATURES
Save money (Save up to 40% with a license you already own.)
if you own windows server licenses with active software assurance (SA), Use hybrid user benefit to save compute cost.
Hybrid Use Benefit
Each Windows Server with Software Assurance (either via each 16-Core license or two-processor license) is entitled to two instances of up to
8 cores, or one instance of up to 16 cores. Please always refer to your Windows Server license count with Software Assurance, your Hybrid
Use Benefit entitlements, and your Hybrid Use Benefit deployments to use this benefit while maintaining compliance.
VM Extension: Add new features. Like configuration management or antivirus protection to your virtual machine using extensions.
High Availability :To provide redundancy to your applications , We recommend that you group two or more virtual machine in an
availability set. This configuration ensure that during a planned or unplanned maintenance event, at least one virtual machine will be
available and meet the 99.95 % Azure SLA. The availability set of a virtual machine can't be changed after it is created.
Monitoring (Enable/Disable): Capture Serial console output and screenshot of the virtual running on a host to help diagnose startup
issue.
NSG : A network Security Group is set of firewall rules that control traffic to and from your virtual machine.
Guest OS diagnostics: Get metrics every minutes for your virtual machine . You can use them to create alert and stay
informed on your application.
Storage Disk (Use Managed Disk):-
Enable this feature to have azure automatically manage the availability of disks to provide the data redundancy and fault tolerance,
Without creating and managing storage account on your own.
Note:- Managed disk may not available in all the region.
Diagnostics Storage Account: Metrics are written to a storage account so you can analyze then with tools.

22. AZURE VIRTUAL MACHINE TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshoot Remote Desktop connections to an Azure virtual machine
Reset Remote Desktop configuration : This troubleshooting step resets the RDP configuration when Remote Connections are disabled or
Windows Firewall rules are blocking RDP
Check Network Security Group rules / Cloud Services endpoints: This troubleshooting step verifies that you have a rule in your Network
Security Group to permit RDP traffic. The default port for RDP is TCP port 3389. A rule to permit RDP traffic may not be created automatically
when you create your VM.
Review VM boot diagnostics. This troubleshooting step reviews the VM console logs to determine if the VM is reporting an issue.
Not all VMs have boot diagnostics enabled, so this troubleshooting step may be optiona
Check the VM Resource Health: This troubleshooting step verifies there are no known issues with the Azure platform that may impact
connectivity to the VM.
Reset your VM password: This troubleshooting step resets the password on a local administrator account when you are unsure or have
forgotten the credentials.
Restart your VM :This troubleshooting step can correct any underlying issues the VM itself is having.
Redeploy your VM : This troubleshooting step redeploys your VM to another host within Azure to correct any underlying platform or
networking issues.
When we redeploy a VM, it moves the VM to a new node within the Azure infrastructure and then powers it back on, retaining all your
configuration options and associated resources except temporary disk data.
