Challenge
Deploy a Linux Virtual Machine with Basic Networking
- Provision an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine in Azure with a public IP address and SSH access enabled.

Challenge
Install and Run a Web Server on the Virtual Machine
- Connect to the virtual machine using SSH through Azure Cloud Shell.
- Install the NGINX web server on the Ubuntu virtual machine.
- Verify that the NGINX service is running and responding locally on port 80.

Challenge
Configure HTTP Access and Validate Web Connectivity
- Review the network security group associated with the VM and understand how inbound traffic is controlled.
- Configure an inbound security rule to allow HTTP traffic on port 80.
- Confirm the NGINX default web page loads successfully in a browser using the VM's public IP address.
