Hello, @Strzelczyk, Waldemar !
This usually means that your VM created in unit 3 has expired (as the sandbox only lasts for an hour). Recreate the VM by completing unit 3 and you should be able to complete the exercise. I'll do a full write up below.
Hello, @Strzelczyk, Waldemar !
Where am I seeing this?
Why am I getting empty [ ] when running the command az vm list-ip-addresses on Task 1: Access your web server, step 1?
You'll get empty brackets [ ] when running the command az vm list-ip-addresses if there are no VMs to return. Complete the prerequisite to create a virtual machine, Unit 3 - Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine, and then complete this unit (9 - Exercise - Configure network access) before an hour is up and the VM is automatically deleted.
Empty brackets [ ] mean that no VMs were found. Complete the prerequisite to create a VM and then run this command within an hour before the VM is automatically deleted.
