Day 3:Create VM using Azure CLI

The Nautilus DevOps team is in the process of migrating some of their workloads to Azure. One of the tasks involves creating a new Virtual Machine (VM) using the Azure CLI. The team does not have access to the Azure portal but can manage Azure resources via the azure-client host (the landing host for this lab).

  1. Create a new Azure Virtual Machine named xfusion-vm using the Azure CLI.

  2. Use the Ubuntu2204 image and set the VM size to Standard_B2s.

  3. Make sure the admin username is set to azureuser and SSH keys are generated for secure access.

  4. Use Standard_LRS storage account, disk size must be 30GB and ensure the VM xfusion-vm is in the running state after creation.

When I try to do this task, I face these problems in the last command…please, how can I solve it…

Default username root is a reserved username. Use azureuser instead.
SSH key files '/root/.ssh/id_rsa' and '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' have been generated under ~/.ssh to allow SSH access to the VM. If using machines without permanent storage, back up your keys to a safe location.
