Welcome to this guided project on creating virtual machines

using the as reportable.

My name is Brendan and I will be your instructor
for this project.
This guided project is for anyone who is new to Azure cloud
services and cloud virtualization or may have recently
started using Azure cloud services for those who are
currently operating in an on premises environment and maybe
considering migrating your environment to cloud.
This project focused on the creation of virtual machines
in Azure cloud services.
Some familiarity with virtualization, cloud concepts
or networking would be beneficial.
However, each set of tasks is fully explained as we progress
to the project.
I'm excited to teach you how to get started with virtual
machines in Azure, including how to choose from the various
options such as operating system images, this storage,
networking management and monitoring.
I have worked as an independent consultant within the tech
industry for many years so I hope to pass on my experience
to you join this project.
Here's an example of what you will be able to create
by the end of this project.
We will have our Azure portal configured with a new virtual
machine where we can do all the configuration and management,
including our networking naming conventions and of course our
connectivity.
Once we have that set up, we will then be able to create a
remote desktop connection to the server that will reside
in the cloud and from there we can do management
of the server as though it was a local box.
So let's dive right in.
Yeah. Mm.
During each task you'll be able to follow along and complete
each step as I do.
Giving your truly hands on experience.
I will begin by showing you how to get started with Azure by
creating an account and signing in from there.
We will get familiar with navigating the Azure portal, begin
the creation of our Azure virtual machine.
We will accomplish this by working our way to the various
settings that need to be configured for a successful
deployment of our first VM.
Once the virtual machine has created an operational, we will
then connect to the cloud based virtual machine using Windows,
remote desktop to test connectivity and management.
Right, let's get started.
We're going to create a small task on your cloud desktop.
You would see an open browser showing mike soft free account.
Sign up To complete a sign up for a free child which gives
you 30 days access or $200 credit.
You will need the following pieces of information a valid
phone number, a valid credit card and either get hub or
Microsoft account username.
You must apply your credit card details.
However, Microsoft will not charge your card once you're free
30 day trial has expired or you have reached your free
monetary limit, whichever happens first.
Microsoft will notify you so you can decide if you want to
upgrade to a pay as you go pricing and if you don't you're a
counter products will be disabled and you need to upgrade to
resume usage.
So let's click on start free.
A new page will open and you will be asked to log in using
your get up account or your user account.
Once you have logged in you will be taken to the account
profile page to set up your free as your account.
You now need to complete the required fields, verify your
identity, input your credit card details and complete to sign
up. So simply walked to filling up your first name, last name,
email address, telephone number except the license agreements.
And click next.
You may be required to verify identity by phone, which means
that the telephone number that you included as part of your
sign up will receive a code that you need to input once
you've accepted that and you are finished with the details.
Simply click on sign up.
Once complete, a new browser window will open.
Welcome you to Azure any time you want to access user, as
you're simply go to portal dot Azure dot com, enter your
username and password and you'll be taken straight to the
portal.
Great job you complete the first task of this project.
You should now have successfully created an agile
subscription and successfully logged into the Microsoft Azure
portal.
In this task, we learned about how to set up a free trial for
Microsoft Azure and how to sign in using a new subscription.
In the next task will pick up where we left off here and we
will get familiar with navigating the algae portal in
preparation for creating a new VMM.
