Answer 1

Hi Saiprathap Margani ,

We regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

I've made multiple attempts to reproduce the issue, and I can confirm that the documented steps function correctly for me.

Here's a brief rundown of the steps:

1. Activate a new sandbox and create the VM as indicated in the Exercise (Step 1 under "Create a Linux VM and Install Nginx").
2. After completing Step 1, Please activate new sandbox and create the VM as instructed in the exercise.
3. After Task 1 finishes, make a note of the publicIpAddress that was assigned to the VM (e.g. 20.245.72.52). Start Task 2, and then when it errors out, follow steps below:

Connect to the newly-created VM using ssh (in cloud shell). You will need to substitute the publicIpAddress you noted above for <VM public ip address> below:

ssh azureuser@<VM public ip address>

Enter yes when you are prompted.

Copy and right-click -- paste the following three commands below in the cloud shell window. Wait for each to complete before pasting in the next command.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y nginx

echo "<html><body><h2>Welcome to Azure! My name is $(hostname).</h2></body></html>" | sudo tee -a /var/www/html/index.html

If the issue continues to persist, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
