Check details and create a virtual machine
If there is no problem with the created contents, click "Create".
Creating a private key
Click "Download private key and create resource" to create and download the private key to be used when connecting to Tera Term. After that, the browser download will start, so save it in any location.
Deployment progress
The deployment begins.
Wait for a few tens of seconds to a few minutes.
Deployment complete
Confirm that the message "Deployment is complete" is displayed on the screen, and click "Go to Resource".
Confirmation of public IP address
Make a note of the "public IP address" information displayed on the screen.
- Please note that you cannot connect with a private IP address.
Tera Term connection
Start Tera Term.
Enter the public IP address information you wrote down earlier in the host field. Enter "22" for the TCP port and "SSH" for the service, and click "OK".
Specifying a private key
Specify azureuser as the user name. (No password entered) Check "Use RSA/DSA/ECDSA/ED25519 Key", specify the private key you downloaded earlier as the private key, and click "OK".
Check SSH connection
Check that the SSH connection is established as shown below.
ctivate the web console with: systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
This system is not registered to Red Hat Insights. See https://cloud.redhat.com/
To register this system, run: insights-client --register
[azureuser@test01 ~]$
If you want to become root, you can use "sudo su-" etc.
[azureuser@test01 ~]$ sudo su -
[root@test01 ~]#
in conclusion
Since you will be charged for the credits granted while the virtual machine is running, it is better to stop the virtual machine from the portal after use. (Although it is a free frame, the credit is limited)
