How to Manage MS Azure Resources using, Resource groups and Storage Accounts, Virtual Machines and Virtual Networks

In this scenario, we will be managing Microsoft Azure resources, we will do this by first creating a resource group which houses everything, then create a storage account and create a virtual networks.
Step 1: Create a free Microsoft azure account(portal.azure.com). After the account has been created, Azure gives you $200 free credits which last for one month, so its advice to use it wisely because if its exhausted, you would have to opt for pay as you go and that cost is what you might not want to incur now, so after creating what you intend to create, delete everything so you can save credits.
Step 2: Look up Resource group on the search bar

Next up we select the +Create as seen in the image below which enables us to create a new resource group.


-For the name of the resource group we will be using **guilded-project-rg0


after finishing the naming convention, select Review + Create right at the bottom and create your resource group.
-Now go Home and look up virtual networks


We are to select +Create which enables us to create a new virtual network


-The virtual network also has a naming convention, we are to name it guilded-project-vnett after that, select Review + Create at the bottom so the Vnet can be created.


Then click Create.
-We go back Home and look up Virtual Machines.

Select guided-project-rg0 for the Resource group.
Enter guided-project-vmm for the Virtual machine name.
For the Image, select one of the Ubuntu Server options. (For example, Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS - x64 Gen2)
Continue further on the Basics page to the Administrator account section.
Select Password for authentication type.
Enter guided-project-admin for the admin Username.
Enter a password for the admin account.
Confirm the password for the admin account.
Leave the rest of the settings as default settings. You can review the settings if you like, but shouldn’t change any.
Select Review + create


Select Create to confirm the resource cost and create the virtual machine.

Select Home to return to the Azure portal home page.

Look up storage account and select +Create


Select Create.
Wait for the screen to refresh and show Your deployment is complete.
Select Home to return to the Azure portal home page.
