A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical machine.
To create a virtual machine on Microsoft Azure, you need to have an account and subscribe to the services.
The steps to create a virtual machine are: search for Virtual Machine on the dashboard, select the virtual machine hosted by Azure, name the resource group, set the image and size, choose the administrator account details, select inbound ports, review and create, go to the resource group, and connect to the virtual machine using RDP.
By following these steps, users can easily create a virtual machine on Microsoft Azure.
