Azure Virtual Machines(vm) are virtualized instances of computer systems that enable users to run applications and services without the need to manage the underlying hardware infrastructure. They provide on-demand, scalable computing resources in the cloud.
Deploying a virtual machine in Azure can be done with a few easy steps. In this post, I'll be deploying a windows 11 vm and connecting to it.
Let's go!
