An Azure virtual machine (VM) is one of several types of on-demand, scalable computing resources offered by Microsoft azure. Azure VMs provide a flexible way to create and manage virtualized computing environments without the need to purchase and maintain physical hardware. You might choose an Azure VM when you require more control over your computing environment than other options (such as platform-as-a-service or server less) can offer.
