LAB PREPARATION

Purpose / Objectives of Lab 2

In this lab, you will learn how to create a Windows and Linux VM using a pre-built image, how to remotely connect to each, and basic management of these VMs from the Azure Dashboard. These two VMs will be used extensively in your later labs. This lab assumes you have completed Lab 1 successfully. Refer back to that lab for reminders on the basics of the Azure Dashboard interface.

While you are working through this lab, it is highly recommended that you write notes down in your OPS705 Lab Logbook. These are general notes and commands to help you remember how to do this lab. Each lab has its own page in the logbook. You may use this logbook during all quizzes, so fill it out accordingly!

If you encounter technical issues, please contact your professor via e-mail or in your section's Microsoft Teams group.

Minimum Requirements

Before beginning, you must have:

  1. Successfully completed Lab 1
  2. Your Seneca Azure login credentials
  3. Your OPS705 Lab Logbook
  4. An Internet connection is helpful (If you don't have one... How are you here?)

INVESTIGATION 1: Managing a Windows Server 2016 VM in Azure

In this investigation, you'll create, configure, and manage a Windows Server 2016 Virtual Machine using Microsoft Azure. You'll also login to the VM remotely, using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol to share its desktop.

Part 1: Creating A Windows VM From An Image

Part 2: Accessing Your Windows VM Remotely Using RDP

Part 3: Shutting Down Windows Safely

INVESTIGATION 2: Managing a CentOS Linux VM in Azure

In this investigation, we'll create, configure, and manage a CentOS Minimal Virtual Machine using Microsoft Azure. This is a command line only OS, so you'll be using SSH to remotely connect to the VM and issue basic commands. This VM will be used extensively in Lab 3.

Part 1: Creating A CentOS VM From An Image

Part 2: Accessing Your CentOS VM Remotely Using SSH

Part 3: Shutting Down CentOS Safely

INVESTIGATION 3: Managing Your VMs Directly Through Azure

In this quick investigation, we'll walk through how to directly manage virtual machines from the Azure Dashboard interface on a basic level. This is useful for starting up VMs, shutting them down when unresponsive, and deleting them when you're finished. (Warning: Do not delete either VM created in this lab!)

Part 1: Powering On / Restarting A Virtual Machine

Part 2: Powering Off A Virtual Machine

Part 3: Deleting A Virtual Machine

Part 4: A Note About Resource Usage
