Preface

Chapter 6. Planning and Deploying Virtual Machines in Azure

If you want to run your services within Azure and Microsoft has no PaaS or SaaS offering for that specific service, it is necessary to implement virtual machines in your environment.

To identify the right virtual machine for your services, you need to know the virtual machines types that currently exist and how to implement a virtual machine within your Azure environment.

In this chapter, you will learn the basics about Azure virtual machines, how to implement virtual machines, and virtual machine license offerings from the Azure marketplace.

We are going to explore the following topics:

  • Virtual machine types and their usage
  • License offerings
  • How to deploy a virtual machine
  • How to change virtual machine settings
  • Common virtual machine use cases

We will also setup a virtual machine during this chapter.
