Configure the Web Server
Using the SSH client, install the Nginx web server package using the Ubuntu Advanced Package Tool.

Challenge
Allow Inbound Internet Traffic
In the Networking pane of the virtual machine, click Add inbound port rule. Add a new inbound rule that allows all HTTP traffic into the virtual machine.
Verify that Nginx has been configured correctly and that traffic is now allowed by navigating in a web browser to the public IP address of the web server. This is in the Azure portal under the blade for the virtual machine.
