hello everyone! today we will be having a fun look at how virtual machines are managedin Azure.
Before we begin managine the machines, we first need to move them to our Subnet
- Search and select Virtual Machine
- stop the virtual machine if running to save cost
- select hyperlink
- select the subnet option
- now go to the home page
Well done! The virtual machine has been moved from one subnet to another. Recall that particular network security rules were added to the new subnet to enable it to serve as an FTP server. The Azure administrator's next assignment has to do with the virtual machine's processing capacity. To boost the machine's processing capacity, the administrator wants you to vertically scale it.
Scale the virtual machine vertically.
- go to virtual machine from home page
- your vm
- Locate the Availability / scale submenu and select Size
Excellent work. The VM can manage the increased role now that it has been scaled up to a more powerful processor.
The Azure administrator now understands, nevertheless, that the virtual machine need additional storage if it is to act as an FTP server. To attach a fresh data disk to the virtual machine, the Azure administrator requested it.
for this we go back to the home page and select our virtual machine again and our project vm
- now Locate the settings submenu and select Disks, give the disk the following name and size and apply
Good! The virtual machine now has sufficient storage to support a few uploads.
The cost of operating the machine around-the-clock is the last issue that worries the Azure administrator. Starting up the FTP server is the first thing they do each morning. But they want you to set it up to shut down automatically at 7 PM every day. Universal Coordinated Time (UTC)
Set up a virtual machine to shut down automatically.
for this we go back to the home page and select our virtual machine again and our project vm as we did earlier
Under the Operations submenu, select Auto-shutdown and set the shut down to 7:15pm
Well done! You have successfully finished all of the virtual machine administration activities that the Azure administrator requested assistance with.
