It's crucial to choose a strong password for security purposes. Start a new sandbox and create a new VM following the Exercise instructions (Step 1: Create a Linux VM and install Nginx). After completing Step 1, note down the Public IP address assigned to the VM. Before moving into step2, connect to the newly created VM using ssh command in cloud shell. Please run the following command to connect VM: ssh azureuser@<VM public ip address> 3.

Hi AMAR,
I appreciate your patience in reaching out for assistance. Let's address your issue step by step:

Public Address Observation: Upon executing step 1, you should see a public address like this: 40.112.149.7. This confirms that the initial step has been successfully completed.

Continuation to Step 2: Please proceed by copying the public IP address and executing step 2.

SSH Command Execution: After completing step 2, enter the following command in your terminal or command prompt: ssh azureuser@<VM public IP address> (e.g., ssh azureuser@40.112.149.7). When prompted with a message asking if you want to continue connecting, type "yes" (without quotes) and press Enter to proceed.

Cloud Shell Commands: Once connected via SSH, run the following commands sequentially in your cloud shell:

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

After executing the commands, check if the issue persists. If you encounter a password prompt or any difficulties, share the specific error message or behavior. I'm here to assist further and can provide additional troubleshooting or resources if needed.

Could you kindly indicate where your email is displayed so that we can conceal it from public view?

Note this is on google image .

My concern is only for the name amarj.ground2air that all, you hide this only.

just type <<unable to install nginx on azure cli command , it ask for password>> on google then image, you will see..

And once again many thank to you VarunTha for your kind support.

From Amar..
