Azure Virtual Machines is the most famous IaaS service offered by the Azure platform. This service supports the deployment of Windows or Linux virtual machines in an Azure data center and gives you the ability to immediately deploy a VM and centrally manage it (software installation, configuration, maintenance, and so on). When creating a virtual machine, you can select the type of VM that better suits your needs (OS, CPU cores, memory, storage, and so on) and you can create a new VM by choosing a template from an image gallery. A virtual machine can be created on the region that you want.

Azure VMs are classified as follows:

  • General Purpose (A0-4, A, D series): This is ideal for testing and development, for small...
