Creating a Linux VM in Azure and connecting to it using a public key is a secure method for managing cloud-based systems.
To create a Linux VM in Azure, you need to log in to the Azure Portal, create a virtual machine, and configure the necessary settings.
To connect to the Linux VM using SSH, you can download the private key, open your terminal or PowerShell, and run the SSH command with the key and IP address.
After connecting to the VM, you can update the server and install a web server like Nginx to host websites or web apps.
