Summary

Completed

In this module, you learned how to create a Windows VM using the Azure portal. You then connected to the VM's public IP address and managed it over RDP. You discovered how RDP in Azure provides a similar experience to logging on interactively to a physical computer.

You learned that while RDP allows us to interact with the operating system and software of the virtual machine, the portal allows us to configure the virtual hardware and connectivity. We also could have used PowerShell or the Azure CLI, if we preferred a command-line or scriptable environment.

Clean up

The sandbox automatically cleans up your resources when you're finished with this module.

When you're working in your own subscription, it's a good idea at the end of a project to identify whether you still need the resources you created. Resources that you leave running can cost you money. You can delete resources individually or delete the resource group to delete the entire set of resources.
