Hi Wesley Millwood,

Based on your query we understand that you are experiencing difficulties while attempting to create a VM in the Microsoft Azure Learn sandbox.

Upon activating the sandbox by selecting the "Activate sandbox" button, an Azure cloud shell window will appear on the right-hand side of the screen.

Within the Cloud Shell, execute the "az vm create" command to generate a Linux VM. To execute this command, simply copy the provided code block in the document using the copy function located at the top right corner of the code block, and then paste it into the Azure cloud shell window.

Please refer to the attached screenshot, where you will notice the sandbox resource group identified with a name commencing with "learn," and the successful creation of a VM named "my-vm," currently in a running state: Should you continue to encounter challenges, please provide relevant screenshots for further assistance, ensuring all private details are appropriately concealed prior to submission.
