Azure Virtual Machines - Core Concepts

An Azure Virtual Machine (VM) is a virtual computer in the Microsoft Azure cloud. It allows you to run your own operating system, applications, and services, just like a physical server, but without the operational overhead.

You get the flexibility and control you need, while benefiting from the scalability, security, and reliability of Azure.

Here are some key concepts related to Azure Virtual Machines:

• Images: These are templates that contain the operating system and software that you use to create a VM.
• Sizes: These define the hardware resources allocated to your VM (e.g., CPU, memory, storage).
• Networking: Azure Virtual Machines can be connected to other Azure services and resources using virtual networks.
• Storage: You can attach storage accounts to your VM to store your data.

To get started with Azure Virtual Machines, you'll need an active Azure subscription. You can sign up for a free trial or explore pricing options.
