How to create an Ubuntu Virtual Machine in Azure Cloud
Azure Virtual Machine (VM) is one of the types of on-demand, scalable computing resources. It gives us the flexibility of virtualization. We do not need to buy and maintain the physical hardware, we just need to take care of the machine itself. We can easily and quickly create a virtual machine with specific configurations as per our needs. The size of the VM that we use is determined by the workload that we want to run. We can connect Virtual machines in an Azure virtual network easily to our organization's network.
