Create VM using PowerShell Script

Lab Exercise includes as below

In this lab we will be implementing centOs 7.0 with PowerShell script later we will be configuring Apache Server.


Resource Group   - MyRG
Location             - EastUs
Virtual Network  - VNet
IP Address         - 192.168.0.0/16
Subnet              - 192.168.0.0/24
Subnet Name     - MySubnet
NSG Name          - MyNSG
Storage Account - awaneesh (must be unique)
VM Name           - centOS-01
OS Type             - centOS
OS Version         - 7.5
VM Size              - Standard_B1s
Public IP            - PIP (Dynamic)
NIC                    - NIC 
OS Disk              - centOS-01-OsDisk 
==
Output as Below

=========
VM Implemented as below

 

 Lets Login to VM - command line-

ssh your_username@host_ip_address

ssh awaneesh@40.76.50.224

Command line for install Apache-

sudo yum update httpd


Once the packages are updated, install the Apache package:

sudo yum install httpd


Apache does not automatically start on CentOS once the installation completes. You will need to start the Apache process manually:
 
sudo systemctl start httpd

Verify that the service is running with the following command: 

sudo systemctl status httpd

You will see an active status when the service is running:
 
 





When you have your server’s IP address, enter it into your browser’s address bar:

http://your_server_ip
http://40.76.50.224
