AZ-204 Developing for Microsoft Azure Exam Prep - Creating a Virtual Machine (VM) – Part 2

The video tutorial covers the essentials of virtual machines in Azure, focusing on storage options like premium SSDs, encryption at rest, and key management. It discusses the use of data disks, performance considerations, and the differences between managed and unmanaged disks. Networking and security aspects, including virtual networks and load balancing, are explored. The tutorial also touches on logging, auto shutdown, and VM extensions, as well as proximity and VM generation differences. Finally, it explains tagging resources and using ARM templates for resource management.
