Chapter 2. Creating a virtual machine
Figure 2.1. In this chapter, you create a basic VM, log in to install a web server, and then open a network port to allow customers to browse to the sample website.
Figure 2.2. Select and launch the Cloud Shell in the Azure portal by selecting the shell icon.
Figure 2.3. The exercises in this book mostly use the Bash version of the Cloud Shell. The first time you access the Cloud Shell, it will probably load the PowerShell shell. Select the Bash version, and then wait a few seconds for Azure to switch the shell. Each time you access the Cloud Shell after this change, the Bash version should load automatically.
