LAB 1 Creating a Virtual Machine

Cloud Services and Virtual Machines

Cloud Services Cloud Service acts as a network and security boundary for virtual machines. Cloud service URL is mapped to a public IP when there is at least one active virtual machine. = All external traffic to virtual machines uses this IP.

Virtual Machine Availability Sets Update Domains are honored by host OS updates

Endpoints Single Public IP Per Cloud Service Multiple VMs can share the same public port Port Forwarding Forward public traffic to internal port on a single virtual machine. Load Balanced Forward traffic to internal port on multiple virtual machines.

Virtual Machine Licensing Basics Image Gallery Licensing Images such as Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center are available in Microsoft Azure and do not require separate licensing. These images are billed by the minute and include compute resources and licensing as part of the cost. License Mobility License Mobility through Software Assurance gives Microsoft Volume Licensing customers the flexibility to deploy eligible server applications with active Software Assurance on Azure. With this Software Assurance benefit, there is no need to purchase new licenses and no associated mobility fees so, you can easily deploy existing licenses on the Azure cloud platform.
