UPDATE ON HOW TO DEPLOY AND CONFIGURE LX-VM2

Deploy and Configure a Linux Virtual Machine – Simple Steps
A Linux Virtual Machine (VM) in Azure is a virtual computer running Linux OS (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, RedHat) hosted on Microsoft's cloud. You can use it just like a normal Linux server — to run applications, host websites, or practice Linux commands — but you don’t need to buy hardware
Deploying a Linux VM in Azure involves creating the VM in the portal, selecting Linux OS, configuring compute, storage, and networking, and then connecting via SSH to perform updates, install software, and manage the VM just like a physical Linux server.

Go to https://portal.azure.com.
