Task 1: Azure Portal

Azure is a cloud platform that provides the compute, storage, and
networking resources needed to build cloud-hosted applications. As a
new user, the Azure portal is likely to be the primary way you will
interact with Azure. The Azure portal lets you create and manage all
your Azure resources. For example, you can set up a new database,

increase the compute power of your virtual machines, and monitor
your monthly costs.

You can configure and manage Azure using a broad range of tools and
platforms. There are tools available for the command line, language-
specific Software Development Kits (SDKs), developer tools, tools for
migration, and many others.
Tools that are commonly used for day-to-day management and
interaction include:

Azure portal
Azure PowerShell and Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Azure Cloud Shell
Azure mobile app

1.a
• Explain the usage of above tools.
Answer:

 Azure portal for interacting with Azure via a Graphical User

Interface (GUI)
 Azure PowerShell and Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) for
command line and automation-based interactions with Azure
 Azure Cloud Shell for a web-based command-line interface
 Azure mobile app for monitoring and managing your resources
from your mobile device

• Azure PowerShell provides the New-AzVM command that creates a

virtual machine (VM) for you inside your Azure subscription. Given
the resource group name is “lckResourceGroup”, the name of the VM
is “myVM” and the image is “UbuntuLTS”. Write out the command to
create this VM.
Answer:

New-AzVM `
-ResourceGroupName "lckResourceGroup" `
-Name ";myVm" `

1.b

• Write out the command to create the above VM by using Azure CLI.
Answer:

az vm create \
--resource-group MyResourceGroup \
--name TestVm \
--image UbuntuLTS \
--generate-ssh-keys \

Task 2: Azure Marketplace

2.
• What is the Azure Marketplace?
Answer:

The Azure Marketplace is often where you start when creating new
resources in Azure. The Marketplace allows customers to find, try,
purchase, and provision applications and services from hundreds of
leading service providers, all certified to run on Azure.

The solution catalog spans several industry categories, including

but not limited to open-source container platforms, virtual machine
images, databases, application build and deployment software,
developer tools, threat detection, and blockchain.
