📝OVERVIEW
In Azure,management tasks are the set of ongoing operational activities required to govern, secure, and maintain cloud resources after they have been deployed.
Before performing management tasks in Azure, it’s important to first build a structured cloud environment. In this part, I provisioned the foundational resources required for the project:
•Resource Group
•Virtual Network (VNet)
•Virtual Machine (VM)
•Storage Account
This setup ensures proper organization, secure networking, scalable compute, and reliable storage before moving into advanced management operations.
🔹 PROCEDURE
1️⃣ Create a Resource Group
Purpose:
This organize project resources for easy management and cleanup.
Steps:
1.In the Azure portal search bar, type Resource groups.
2.Select Resource groups under Services.
3.Select Create.
4.Enter guided-project-rg as the Resource group name or any other unique name of your choice .
5.Leave the default Region.
6.Select Review + create → Create.
7.Return to the Home page.
2️⃣ Create a Virtual Network
Purpose:
This Provide network infrastructure for the virtual machine.
Steps:
1.Search for Virtual networks in the Azure portal.
2.Select Create.
3.Confirm Subscription and Resource group (guided-project-rg).
4.Enter guided-project-vnet as the Virtual network name.
5.Select Review + create → Create.
6.Wait for deployment to complete.
7.Return to Home.
3️⃣ Create a Virtual Machine
Purpose:
This Deploys a Linux-based virtual machine for compute resources.
Steps:
1.Search for Virtual machines.
2.Select Create → Virtual machine.
3.Select guided-project-rg as the Resource group or the new Resource group of your choice .
4.Enter guided-project-vm as the VM name or any unique name of your choice .
5.Choose an Ubuntu image (e.g., Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS - x64 Gen2).
6.Under Administrator account:
•Authentication type: Password
•Username: guided-project-admin
•Set and confirm password
7.Leave other settings as default.
8.Select Review + create → Create.
9.After deployment, return to Home.
4️⃣ Create a Storage Account
Purpose:
This Provides cloud storage for project data.
Steps:
1.Search for Storage accounts.
2.Select + Create.
3.Confirm Subscription and Resource group (guided-project-rg).
4.Enter a globally unique storage account name.
5.Select Review + create → Create.
6.Wait for deployment to complete.
7.Return to Home.
🔹 RESULTS
✔ Resource group created for organized management.
✔ Virtual network deployed with default subnet.
✔ Ubuntu virtual machine successfully provisioned.
✔ Storage account created for data storage.
✔ Environment ready for the next phase of the guided project.
