Page 3 out of 14 needs updated instructions

Question

The task titled "Create a Linux Virtual Machine and install Nginx" says to do the following command:

az vm create \
  --resource-group learn-xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxx \
  --name my-vm \
  --image UbuntuLTS \
  --admin-username azureuser \
  --generate-ssh-keys

but there has been an update on it so it now needs one more line for appropriate IP addresses

az vm create \
  --resource-group learn-xxxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxx \
  --name my-vm \
  --image UbuntuLTS \
  --admin-username azureuser \
  --generate-ssh-keys \
  --public-ip-sku Standard

future steps will not work without the "--public-i-sku Standard"

Answer 1

Hello, @Johnson, William E. (CDC/DDPHSS/NCHS/OD) !

I see the same warning that you are seeing and will pass this along to the content team to make sure that they are aware of this however I haven't been blocked in completing any of the sandbox exercises (I went up to the end of unit 9, Exercise - Configure network access).

If you are blocked, please let me know so we can troubleshoot this. If not, thank you very much for reporting the update!

Where am I seeing this?

Area: Exam AZ-900: Microsoft Azure Fundamentals

Learning Path: Azure Fundamentals: Describe Azure architecture and services

Module: Describe Azure compute and networking services

Unit: Unit 3, Task 1 - Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine

What am I seeing?

Running the az vm create command results in a warning to use --public-ip-sku Standard. This does not currently block completion of the sandbox exercises.

az vm create \
  --resource-group learn-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx \
  --name my-vm \
  --image UbuntuLTS \
  --admin-username azureuser \
  --generate-ssh-keys

It is recommended to use parameter "--public-ip-sku Standard" to create new VM with Standard public IP. Please note that the default public IP used for VM creation will be changed from Basic to Standard in the future.

Warning presented when using az vm create

Completion sandbox exercises is still possible
