The Azure Explorer, which is part of the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ, provides Java developers with an easy-to-use solution for managing virtual machines in their Azure account from inside the IntelliJ integrated development environment (IDE).

This article demonstrates how to create and manage virtual machines through the Azure Explorer on IntelliJ.

Prerequisites

Displaying the Azure Explorer Tool Window

If the Azure Explorer tool window is not visible in IntelliJ, click View, then click Tool Windows, and then click Azure Explorer.

      • Security group: Specifies an optional networking firewall for your virtual machine. You can select an existing firewall or, if your virtual machine won't use a network firewall, you can select (None).

      • Select inbound ports: Specifies which virtual machine network ports are accessible from the public internet.

  5. In the Advanced window, enter the following information:

    • Storage account:

      • Storage account: Specifies the storage account to use for storing your virtual machine. You can choose an existing storage account or create a new account. If you choose Create New, you need to specify all necessary options. For more information, you can see Storage Account.
    • Azure Spot Instance:
