## Introduction :
An Azure Virtual Machine(VM) is a scalable computing resource provided by Microsoft Azure that allows users to run applications and services in the cloud. Some key points about Azure VMs are :
  
 a) **Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)**:
      Azure VMs are part of Microsoft's IaaS offerings , giving users the       
      users the flexibility to deploy and manage virtualized instances 
      without the need for  on-premises hardware.
b)**Customizability**: Azure VMs can be customized to fit specific needs 
    including CPU, memory, storage and networking configurations.
c)**Scalability**: Azure provides tools for scaling VMs up and down based 
    on demand, allowing for cost and efficiency and performance optima-
    zation.
d)**Deployment Options**: VMs can be deployed using Azure's portal, comm-
    and-line tools , or automation tools like Azure  Resource Manager te-
    mplates.
e)**Uses**: Common uses include hosting applications, databases, develo-
    pment environments, and running complex computations or simulations.
f)**Integration**: Azure VMs integrate with other Azure services such as 
    Azure storage, Azure Virtual Networks, and Azure Active Directory.

Deploying and connecting a virtual Machine (VM) on Azure involves several 
steps . For the purpose of this assignment  I am going to create a VM named UWACO-VM.

**Step 1: Sign in Azure Portal**
 create an Azure account in the Azure portal with  email and a password and signed in.

**Step 2: Create a Virtual Machine**
 a) Once the account is created with an active subscription, navigated to the left-hand menu and click on "Virtual Machines".

b) **The basic Tab was open**: 
   The basic open up to choose 
   . Subscription 
   . Resource Group Name which in this case i choose UWACOM-RG
   . Virtual Machine Name : UWACO-VM
   . Region was selected to : West Europe
   . Availability options: No infrastructure redundancy required
   . Security Type was set : Standard
   . Image was set on : Window 11
   . Choose size
   . Create Administrative Username and Password to connect to the VM.

**STEP 12 : The file was downloaded**
. This leads to putting in password for UWACO 
. A new window was opened meaning the process was successful and a VM running on Window 11 was created.
