About this Guided Project

In this Guided Project, you will create a Virtual Machine in Azure to deploy a web server, specifically a Nextcloud server. Instead of using just the presets, you will explore how the basic architecture of Azure works, by creating a Virtual Machine, connecting it to a subnet, protected by inbound and outbound rules thanks to Network Security Groups, in a Virtual Network. You'll also learn how to use Bastion to connect to the machine via SSH, without exposing an external port to the Internet, and then installing a simple Nextcloud server and make the Virtual Machine available to you by opening a public IP and a DNS label.

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

Create a Resource Group
Create a Virtual Network and a subnet
Protect a subnet using a Network Security Group
Deploy Bastion to connect to a Virtual Machine
Create an Ubuntu Server Virtual Machine
Install Nextcloud by connecting via SSH using Bastion
Publish an IP
Create a DNS label

Recommended experience

To take the most out of this Guided Project, you should have a background in networking concepts: subnet masks, IPs, ports and basic firewall rules.
