Training on Describe Azure compute and networking services

Question

Hi

I am doing the training on Describe Azure compute and networking services unit 3

I need to create an Azure virtual machine.

I am activating the sandbox.

I am following the instruction and use the below code:

az vm create --resource-group [sandbox resource group name] --name my-vm --public-ip-sku Standard --image Ubuntu2204 --admin-username azureuser --generate-ssh-keys

To my understanding [sandbox resource group name] should be replaced by the actual name when the sandbox is activated but that is not the case.

so I cannot go further.

I get the below response

unrecognized arguments: resource group name]

Answer 1

Hi Raphaël,

Please navigate to the Create an Azure virtual machine exercise, Activate a new sandbox, sign in, etc. Once sandbox is activated and black cloud shell window is displayed, navigate to Exercise - Configure network access using the "Unit x of 14" dropdown above the exercise.

After page loads and resource group name is updated to learn-, immediately navigate back to Create an Azure virtual machine exercise and complete it.

Inspiration for above workaround came from @pnaroju's #2 suggestion in this post.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

the sandbox resource group name, is the name you gave to the resource group you are using in the lab, for example if you are using the SandboxNSGs resource group, when you create the vm you have to put that name

so the cli command should be

az vm create -- resource group SandboxNSGs

Hope this helps

Cheers
