Managing Two Azure VMs from One PowerShell Session

In this hands-on lab, you are tasked with finding system information from multiple VMs using PowerShell. Instead of logging into each server, it's much easier to perform PowerShell commands from a single terminal. Using the `Enter-AzVM` command, you will be able to access the Azure VM from a PowerShell session and perform all the necessary commands, just as if you were logged into the machine.
