Introduction

In this article, I'm going to show you how to create a virtual machine in the Azure portal in the proper and easiest method.

Benefits of Azure virtual machine

Cost reduction: Azure VMs can be cheaper than running workloads on your servers.
High-performance computing: Azure VMs can run workloads like scientific simulations and financial modeling faster and more efficiently than on-premises hardware.
Networking capabilities: Azure VMs offer a range of networking capabilities and related services, such as Azure Virtual Network, public and private IP addresses, network security groups, virtual private networks (VPN), and Azure ExpressRoute.
Patch management: Azure's patch management workflow makes it easy to manage and stay updated across all the nodes.
Failover: You can replicate your virtual machines to any Azure region and create a recovery plan to automate the failover process for your application.
