. Select an availability zone if necessary but if not choose "no infrastructure redundancy required".

. Select image and a compatible security type "Standard".

. Create an Admin account. Choose a username and password.

. Create inbound ports. HTTP (80) and RDP.

. Confirm eligibility.

. Go to the monitoring tab, and disable system boot diagnostics.

. Go to the tag tab and create a tag for the virtual machine.

. Then review and create.

. Click on create.
