Answer 1

Subscription, resource group, VM name, region, operating system image, VM size, login credentials, and networking settings (virtual network, public IP).

Question 2

What important network control must be considered when connecting to Windows machines?

Answer 2

Question 3

What warning is given regarding opening port 3389 to the entire world?

Answer 3

Opening port 3389 to the entire world is a massive security risk and should only be done for testing purposes, not for production VMs.

Question 4

For Linux machines, it’s important to configure SSH (port 22) for inbound network access and choose between using a username/password or an SSH key for authentication.

Question 6

What are the main takeaways from the lesson on creating VMs?

Answer 6

Understand the required configurations like regions, resource groups, and networking settings.

Consider various options such as VM sizes, operating systems, and disk configurations.
Be cautious with network controls and security settings for inbound access.
