CREATING MY FIRST RESOURSE GROUP AND VIRTUAL MACHINE ON MICROSOFT AZURE

Today, I'm excited to share my experience in setting up my initial Resource Group and Virtual Machine on Microsoft Azure. Before diving into the process, let's quickly define what a Resource Group and Virtual Machine entail. A Resource Group serves as a consolidated container for managing and organizing resources within a unified entity, while a Virtual Machine empowers users to generate and deploy virtualized replicas of computers equipped with diverse operating systems within the cloud. Now, let's explore the step-by-step procedure I followed to streamline this process.
