Hello there and thank you very much for joining us
today in this new Azure Portal How-To Video. Today
we learn how to make the most out of your trial
subscription using Azure Quickstart Center in the portal
and for that we have Pranav Hippargi, who's going to show
us how to do that? So, thank you very much for joining us
today, Pranav.
Thanks for having me, Leon. Let me go ahead and get
started and show you the Azure Quickstart Center and how
to make the most of your free trial subscription.
Awesome. Let's take a look.
Awesome.
Azure Quickstart Center provides popular services,
tutorials, and guides to get started in your Azure journey.
To find Azure Quickstart Center, you can find it in the
default list of services in the Azure Portal homepage. If you
don't see Azure Quickstart Center in the Azure services
section of the portal home page, you can also navigate to
the search tab and find the Azure Quickstart Center by
typing in Quickstart Center.
The Azure Quickstart Center aims to make it easy to start
a project. It provides services and goals,
setup guides,
as well as online courses to help you get started on your
Azure journey.
Let's start with creating a project.
Let's click on deploy a virtual machine.
You can see two types of virtual machines shown—a Windows
virtual machine and a Linux virtual machine. If you know
which virtual machine you want, you can click the create button.
However, if you want more information about the service,
click the learn more tab on each service found on the
bottom of the card.
The card will expand to reveal more information.
Here you'll find some relevant information, such as an
expanded explanation and
reference architecture which will
help understand a typical scenario of how a service will
work with other services in Azure.
It’ll also provide you with a five-minute Quickstart tutorial,
as well as recommended SKUs and pricing options to get
you started and use your free trial credit.
When you're ready to create your service, you can click
the create button. The button will take you to a prefilled
template for the service. You may also need to fill in
required information to create the service, so let's go
ahead and do that.
Here you can see a bunch of different options to help you
customize and create the virtual machine that's perfectly
fit for you and your organization.
However, we do have
recommended items, such as the size. So, I'm going to go
ahead and click on see all
sizes. If you'll recall, the Azure
Quickstart Center provides B1S as a recommended size to
select for my free trial, so I'm going to go ahead and select
that. Next, I'll go ahead and fill out all the required
information from the resource group, the virtual machine,
region, so on and so forth. If I want, I can continue to
customize by clicking on these different tabs or,
alternatively, go through a walkthrough menu by clicking
next. Once I'm ready with all of my customization and
options that are right for me, I can hit review and create.
And that's it. You've created your first service using Azure
Quickstart Center.
Thank you very much, Pranav, that was great. Please
try this out in your subscriptions.
