[@bhadrafriends9788]

Superb explanation, covered most of the things

[@SathishkumarJayaprakash]

Adam, Thanks for the great video. I am one of your follower. When i am starting the cloud computing learnings it hard to understand the basics. Especially this topic covers Network security group, VPN, Subnet everything in details. One picture it explains clearly, i am able to visualize how the VM are connected to NSG. Thanks a lot and keep posting a new videos. Keep up the good work adam.

[@necroixes8206]

@Adam Marczak how do you get server manager to show the file and storage options. mine only shows dashboard and all servers. I have 0 servers. sorry I am new

[@sbkote]

Can we access the VM using RDP if we don''t select the inbound port - RDP(3389) while creating VM? Also as a free subscription, i don't see the RDP(3389) port option in drop down while creating the VM.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

You can configure RDP port afterwards in case entry template changes. Just go to network security group resource and add appropriate inbound rule. But port is required.

[@ppnehe]

Sir , This is excellent video . In this example you are adding new disk to VM1 but not to VM2 ( Ubuntu ) . Can you please add few mins to this video to show when you actually add data disk to Ubuntu VM how to do you get it mounted to the stage where it can be used from linux based VM when . How can we ensure the application is intalled only on data disk and not on the boot disk. Thanks a lot

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't share my PowerPoints

[@MsAlpha]

Can you please make a video on costing of ADF or how to calculate the Bill of material

[@AdamMarczakYT]

I would want to, although it's tricky topic to calculate because it requires a lot of knowledge about ADF itself. Might do it once I finish all the 'basic/intro' level videos. After them I plan to release certification preparation videos and later advanced topics.

[@MsAlpha]

Ok Thanks

[@AdamMarczakYT]

By default download is disabled in Internet Options on windows servers. Just enable it and/or add website to trusted websites, if you don't know where to find it a quick google will help out.

I do plan to make Azure AD but there are few more important topics I want to cover before this. Azure AD is very important service to cover so it's definitely on the list.

[@venub5427]

Hi Adam, Can we create VM in different location ? (Means, Resource group in one location and VM in different location)

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Yes, absolutely

[@thescanman9979]

Great intro video! I've been trying to find information regarding cloud computing on Microsoft and AWS too. Just wondering whether this would be a good option for installing programs such as AutoCAD and doing some engineering and design? I require short-term usage with high computing power, for example 64GB+ of RAM with decent storage to process large survey data. I was wondering whether installing such programs on this type of VM would be possible, and due to the sessions being temporary, would this type of software be required to be re-installed on these VMs every use? Sorry for the specific question, however I cannot seem to find a yes/no answer via Google. Thanks Adam!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thanks. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work. Experience through RDP isn't the best but maybe it will be enough for you. Good luck!

[@webtechdiary1107]

Yes you can. Azure provides different VM sizes for fit for everyone's requirement. You can check the specification here. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/sizes docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-sizes-specs

[@compusupport1077]

Hello Adam, thank you for this great video when creating a VM with windows 10 pro, what is the difference between "License included" and " Azure Hybrid Benefit"? because Azure Hybrid Benefit is less cost.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thanks Krzysiek :)

[@damiandanev9271]

So Azure uses vms primerely while AWS primerely uses containers ?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Good question. Both clouds use both containers and VMs. In AWS you have VMs too like EC2, RDS and many more, and some are contenerized too. Same for Azure.

[@damiandanev9271]

@@AdamMarczakYT My general understanding was that containers are much cheaper in general because they are more lightweight(as a software), but as far as I can see VMs are much cheaper on Azure while containers are much cheaper on AWS. Azure doesn't even have a public offering for reserved containers. This is throwing me off.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Azure Reserved Instances for VMs is applied on Azure Kubernetes Service nodes (you can check it in calculator azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/ ) so you can reserve capacity for containers. You are also correct, containers are much more lightweight, that's why there are so many solutions leveraging those right now. VMs just have been on the market for many many many years. In general all clouds will always differ, each will have their own advantages and disadvantages in some areas. It's inevitable unfortunately.

[@damiandanev9271]

@@AdamMarczakYT Looks like I was wrong about AWS - container costs = whatever ec2 you take to run the containers, so 1:1. So the question left in my head is why container service is that much more costly than vms on Azure.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Azure Container Service is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore so cost probably is to encourage people to change to other services. azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/azure-container-service-will-retire-on-january-31-2020/

[@goatsoffootball5494]

when we add a managed disk to our pc .. how much cost 250GB ?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-disks/?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556

[@graphboss]

Hello Adam, thank you for very useful video. You know that Azure offers 12 months free services and when you want to create a BS1 VM (which is free), it comes with 128 GB disk as standard and azure charges you because you need to choose a 64 GB disk which there is no in the list, so basically you cannot choose your disk size. After created VM, you can change the size of the Disk but you cannot shrink.. So I see that there is an image called "smalldisk windows server" but this windows does not have GUI experience.. I am really stuck. Could you show us how you can create a completely free VM by using 12 months option? Because it seems, it is not possible and Azure lies about it.. Or maybe I cannot do that.. Thank you.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Hey Martin, thanks for watching. This is surely one of Azure oddities. When you create linux OS and choose B1s size there will be a dropdown to choose smaller OS disk sizes in the portal on Disks tab. If you choose Windows there won't be. Two ways to get around this is either click on 'Browse all public and private images' and search for 'smalldisk' to get Windows Server option. Second option (this works for most images) is to click everything like normally and on the last screen before clicking create (after validation) click 'download template for automation' button. Extract the downloaded archive and in the template.json find imageReference and sku field and add "-smalldisk" suffix i.e. "sku": "2019-Datacenter-smalldisk". And then in the portal hit Create Resource > Template Deployment and upload template and parameters file and deploy. Then simply resize up to P6 (64GB) as per documentation, it's fairly straightforward.

[@danubiomuller]

Actually, as of 2022 you can choose your disk size. The default no longer is 128gb, is 64gb now and you can change it in time of creation.

Adam, thanks for great videos! Could you please help me to figure out why I can't curl on a linux VM which has been deployed in the way you showed? I wanted to install Node.js following these instructions: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/build-a-web-app-with-mean-on-a-linux-vm/5-install-nodejs

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Hard to say without error but I'd check network security group if outbound HTTP traffic over port 80 and 443 is open.

[@mrvadym1]

@@AdamMarczakYT there is no output for curl actually. It just stacked. What I noticed when opened Networking tab within VM setting I found NSG rule for subnet. Could you advise please if it is possible to create VM using Azure CLI without that subnet and NSG? As far as I use Concierge Subscription which has been created in Microsoft Learn Sandbox tenant I can only manage resources within learn-* RG. But NSG which was associated with that subnet is placed in SandboxNSGs RG andI can't manage at all. Thanks in advance!
