Hi Angela Paternina,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Sorry for the inconvenience. 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.
