By the end of this project, you will have successfully set up two virtual machines using Microsoft Azure and tested a Windows-based virtual machine through Windows Remote Desktop Connection. Virtual machines are industry standard in productivity and cost-efficiency. The skill required in creating and launching virtual machine instances provides the foundation to understand and implement Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
