Deploy a Windows VM with Windows Admin Center extension
This template allows you to deploy a simple Windows Generation 2 VM using a few different options for the Windows version, using the latest patched version. This will deploy a D2s_v3 size VM in the resource group location and return the fully qualified domain name of the VM.
The Virtual Machine has Windows Admin Center extension installed and can be directly managed within the Azure Portal using Windows Admin Center pane. See documentation for instructions on how to use it.
In production environments, public IP should not be assigned directly to Virtual Machines and RDP/Windows Admin Center NSG rules should be restricted to allow access only to management machines.
