Azure Virtual Machines

Azure Virtual Machines provide a powerful and flexible infrastructure for deploying applications. As a senior software engineer with expertise in C# and Azure Cloud, you will find Azure Virtual Machines to be a valuable resource for hosting and managing your applications.

With Azure Virtual Machines, you can:

  • Create virtual machines in minutes and scale them up or down as needed
  • Choose from a variety of virtual machine types to meet your specific needs
  • Install and configure your preferred operating system and software stack
  • Access your virtual machines remotely using secure protocols
  • Monitor and optimize the performance of your virtual machines

Let's take a look at an example of creating and running an Azure Virtual Machine using C#:

1using System;
2using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.Fluent;
3using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Fluent;

5namespace AzureCloudFundamentals
6{
7    class Program
8    {
9        static void Main(string[] args)
10        {
11            var credentials = SdkContext.AzureCredentialsFactory.FromFile("azureauth.properties");
12            var azure = Azure.Configure()
13                .Authenticate(credentials)
14                .WithDefaultSubscription();
15
16            var vmName = "myVM";
17            var username = "adminuser";
18            var password = "password123";
19            var vmSize = VirtualMachineSizeTypes.StandardD2sV3;
20
21            var virtualMachine = azure.VirtualMachines.Define(vmName)
22                .WithRegion(Region.USWest)
23                .WithNewResourceGroup("myResourceGroup")
24                .WithNewPrimaryNetwork(String.Concat(vmName, "-vnet"))
25                .WithPrimaryPrivateIPAddressDynamic()
26                .WithoutPrimaryPublicIPAddress()
27                .WithPopularLinuxImage(KnownLinuxVirtualMachineImage.UbuntuServer16_04_Lts)
28                .WithRootUsername(username)
29                .WithRootPassword(password)
30                .WithSize(vmSize)
31                .Create();
32
33            Console.WriteLine($"Virtual machine {virtualMachine.Name} created successfully!");
34        }
35    }
36}

The above C# code demonstrates how to create an Azure Virtual Machine using the Azure Management Libraries for .NET. It creates a virtual machine named "myVM" with a Linux-based Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS image. The virtual machine is deployed to the US West region and a new resource group is created to host it.

As you can see, Azure Virtual Machines provide a flexible and programmable environment for deploying and managing your applications. With your experience in C# and Azure Cloud, you can leverage the power of Azure Virtual Machines to build scalable and reliable solutions.
