When companies are looking to migrate from servers in their own environment – on premises or hosted – into the cloud, one of the first platforms they look at is the virtual machine (VM) in the cloud. VMs are the easiest way to migrate from on prem to Azure, which is called lift and shift.
In this course, we will look at the following topics:
-
How to create Windows and Linux virtual machines
-
Using the Portal, Powershell and CLI
-
How to choose the VM instance size
-
How to configure disk and networking options
-
How to increase the “availability” of that machine
-
Connecting to the network and the Internet
-
Virtual Machine Security
-
Backup and recovery
-
Reducing cost
The course is a mix of conceptual topics (what is availability), and live demonstrations of creating and managing virtual machine resources in Azure.
