There is no Existing VM present after login into the portal
yes I faced the same issue and reported it, it was the case for my 3 last labs in azure beginning from day 8 or 9.
For the previous ones, I created the necessary resources manually and it did work, but for this exact task, even after me creating the missing vm in the same resource group as the public ip and assigning it the public ip address that was created by the lab, it did not work.
I am facing the same issue, What you have done for this?
Even though I completed the task, it marked as faild. I have tested it with my cmd and it worked well
