Summary
This chapter concentrates on general knowledge about VMs, including sizing, disks, deployment modes, and their availability. We discussed different ways of connecting to machines, including the differences between SSH, RDP, and Bastion. The knowledge gained from this chapter should help you in further investigating other capabilities of Azure VMs and possibilities when using them in your infrastructure.
The next chapter will focus on installing and configuring extensions for VMs. We’ll see what’s possible to do when you want to configure a deployed machine or automate its management operations.
