Hi,

I just tried to perform the module 3 in my sandbox.

You will just need to copy the entire command from the left pane and paste it on the right side.

It automatically picks up the RG name for you.

Click on the copy on right corner and paste it on the CLI.

Regards,
Divya

how to paste command in azure cloud shell

Answer 2

Hi,

Please complete below training module. In unit 3 it has the commands to create a linux VM and then install Nginx. You can use the Copy button and then paste the commands into the Cloud Sandbox for your subscription. You will need to modify the command to use your resource group name and desired location (create resource group first if needed).

Thanks for your prompt response.

Before running command from unit 3, create your resource group, similar to below:

az group create -l westus -n MyResourceGroup

Next, create the Linux VM using command similar to below:

az vm create \  
  --resource-group MyResourceGroup \  
  --name my-vm \  
  --image UbuntuLTS \  
  --admin-username azureuser \  
  --generate-ssh-keys

Finally, install Nginx

az vm extension set \  
  --resource-group MyResourceGroup \  
  --vm-name my-vm \  
  --name customScript \  
  --publisher Microsoft.Azure.Extensions \  
  --version 2.1 \  
  --settings '{"fileUris":["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftDocs/mslearn-welcome-to-azure/master/configure-nginx.sh"]}' \  
  --protected-settings '{"commandToExecute": "./configure-nginx.sh"}'

The above commands are for Cloud Shell connected to your subscription, not the sandbox one.

Answer 5

this is a regular error message when i use different command.

az group create --location westus --name My REsourceGroup
unrecognized arguments: REsourceGroup

Examples from AI knowledge base:
az group create --location westus --resource-group MyResourceGroup
Create a new resource group in the West US region.

az group create --location westeurope --resource-group MyResourceGroup --tags {tags}
Create a new resource group. (autogenerated)

az account list-locations
List supported regions for the current subscription. (autogenerated)
