Hello,
I am new to IT and taking the Azure fundamentals.
I keep encountering this error during the exercise : curl --connect-timeout 5 http://$IPADDRESS
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 20.237.177.154 port 80 after 169 ms: Couldn't connect to server
What's the problem?

me too! What the heck??
You could have a Network Security Group preventing inbound traffic on port 80, or the Virtual Machine itself could have a configuration issue where it's not listening on that port.

Thank you @AirGordon for responding to his question! However, since I am as new to this as the original poster I have no idea how to go about checking the NSG or the Virtual Machine. Could it be related to my browser settings?
Hi @Matt Steele
Where am I seeing this?
Why am I receiving a curl: (7) Failed to connect to xx.xxx.xx.xx port 80 after 1 ms: Couldn't connect to server error?
If it's been more than an hour since you completed the prerequisite, Unit 3 - Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine, your VM will have been automatically deleted and you'll get an error on Task 1, Step 2. Complete the prerequisite to create a virtual machine in Unit 3, and then complete this unit before an hour is up.
If you are still running into this issue after completing the prerequisite, post a comment to let us know and we'll continue to troubleshoot this.
Complete the prerequisite less than an hour before working on this unit so that your VM isn't automatically deleted.
If the issue persists, please reach out to us.
