Day 3: Create an Azure Virtual Machine with VLI
Task: 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).
Create a new Azure Virtual Machine named datacenter-vm using the Azure CLI.
Use the Ubuntu2204 image and set the VM size to Standard_B2s.
Make sure the admin username is set to azureuser and SSH keys are generated for secure access.
Use Standard_LRS storage account, disk size must be 30GB and ensure the VM datacenter-vm is in the running state after creation.
