  • Getting Started with Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
    Getting Started with Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines Introduction You can use a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine when you need a scalable, cloud-based server running a Windows or Linux operating system and any application of your choosing. By taking advantage of Microsoft Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), you can run a virtual machine on an ongoing basis, or you can stop and restart it later with no loss to your data or server settings. You can quickly provision a new virtual machine from one of the images available from Microsoft Azure. On the other hand, if you are already running applications in a VMware or Hyper-V virtualized environment, you can easily migrate your virtual machine to Microsoft Azure. Once you have created your virtual machine and added it to Microsoft Azure, you can work with it much like an on-premises server by attaching more disks for data storage or by installing and running applications on it. Virtual machines rely on Microsoft Azure Storage for high availability. When your virtual machine is provisioned, it is replicated to three separate locations within the data center to which you assign it. You have the option to enable geo-replication to have copies of your virtual machine available in a remote data center region. Considering Scenarios for a Virtual Machine Microsoft Azure gives you not only the flexibility to support many application platforms, but also the flexibility to scale up and scale down to suit your requirements. Furthermore, you can quickly provision a new virtual machine in a few minutes. A Microsoft Azure virtual machine is simply a fresh machine preloaded with an operating system of your choice—you can add any needed application easily.
