I followed the instructions and copy and typed the Azure CLI commands as shown in the instructions but failed every time. I reset the Terminal type each command shown in the instructions and got failed message. Then I copied the commands and continued to get failed messages.

    Hi Ricardo Cunningham,

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. There are a few reasons why you might be encountering error messages when creating a virtual machine (VM) in Azure training, even after following the instructions and copying the commands. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Analyze the Error Message: Understanding the error message is crucial. Look for keywords or error codes that provide clues about the specific issue preventing VM creation.
    2. Double-check your Input: Pay attention to typos or inconsistencies in your commands. Ensure all parameter values match the instructions exactly (e.g., VM name, resource group, location).
    3. Verify Azure Subscription and Permissions: Confirm you're signed in to Azure using the correct subscription with sufficient permissions to create VMs.
    4. Check Resource Availability: Ensure the chosen VM size or storage account is available in the selected region. Try using a different size or region if necessary.
    5. Azure CLI Issues: Use the latest Azure CLI version and ensure its configured correctly. Run az --version to check the version and refer to Microsoft documentation for installation and configuration steps if needed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-cli
    6. Networking Issues: Verify your network connection is stable and there are no firewall or proxy issues blocking Azure service communication.

    These steps should help you troubleshoot and resolve any errors encountered during virtual machine creation in Azure training.
