How would I go about setting this up in a cloud instance?

Question

Let's say I wanted to set up an instnce where I have a traffic exchange viewer module running on an Azure instance (its a linux based program, requires at least Ubantu 16.04) - something like "Hitleap" - how would I set that up??

Answer 1

Create an Azure virtual Machine and Install the ubuntu version you need on it, from there on is just like having an on prem Linux machine. 1.- Create a free Azure account (you would need a credit card for this) 2.- Access your account as a Global Administrator 3.- Click on Virtual Machine > Create > Azure Virtual Machine on Image type select the Ubuntu version you need 4.- Setup any other settings and finish you VM creation 5.- Remote into the virtual machine and use it as normal
