There are 3 primary steps in creating the Azure VM (Linux (ubuntu 20.04).

Create virtual machine in the Azure Portal + Configurations
Test the Connection
Install Web Server & View the Web Server in Action

1. Create virtual machine in the Azure Portal + Configurations Go to your Azure Portal. Now, on your left-hand side, click “Virtual Machines”. If this is your first time creating VMs, then you will not see any instances running. Proceed “Create Virtual Machine”.

For “Project Details”, make sure the correct subscription is selected.

In administrator account, provide the admin username for the VM and password.
Make sure you select HTTP for web access
