💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'storage' instead of 'vm' will try to create a storage account, not a VM.

Using 'network' or 'container' are unrelated to VM creation.

The vm service is used to create virtual machines in Azure.

Using 'password' instead of 'ssh-key' disables SSH key authentication.

Using incomplete or incorrect authentication types like 'ssh' or 'key'.

The correct value for SSH key authentication is ssh-key.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing disk size with IP SKU values.

Using '64' for disk size when a larger size is needed.

Choosing 'Basic' when 'Standard' is required.

The OS disk size is set to 128 GB and the public IP SKU to Standard for better performance.

Fill all three blanks to create a VM with a custom admin username, disable password authentication, and enable boot diagnostics.

Btrue

Dfalse

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'false' for disabling password authentication when it should be 'true'.

Forgetting to enable boot diagnostics by setting it to 'true'.

Using an invalid admin username.

The admin username is set to azureuser, password authentication is disabled with true, and boot diagnostics is enabled with true.
