    To create a virtual machine (VM) in Azure and automatically set up a simple web page using

    cloud-init (user data), you can include a custom script that runs when the VM boots for the first
    time. This can install a web server (like Apache), create a simple HTML page, and start the web
    server.

    Here's the bash command to create a VM with the necessary user data to set up and publish a
    simple web page.

    Step 1: Prepare the cloud-init (user data) script

    This cloud-init script installs Apache and creates a simple "Hello World" webpage.

    bash
    Copy code
    #!/bin/bash
    # Install Apache
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -y apache2
    # Create a simple HTML file
    echo "<html><body><h1>Hello from ISMT College!</h1></body></html>" | sudo
    tee /var/www/html/index.html
    # Start Apache
    sudo systemctl enable apache2
    sudo systemctl start apache2

    Step 2: Create the VM with the cloud-init script

    Here's the Azure CLI command that uses the above user data to configure the VM:

    #create resource group

    az group create --name test --location uksouth

    #list all running/ created resource

    az resource list --output table

    # list resource of specific resource group

    az resource list --resource-group <resource-group-name> --output table

    az resource list --resource-group test --output table

    1. Using Azure CLI

    You can use the following command to create a Network Security Group:

    bash
    Copy code
    az network nsg create --resource-group <resource-group-name>
    --name <nsg-name> --location <location>

     Replace <resource-group-name> with the name of your resource group.


     Replace <nsg-name> with the desired name for your Network Security Group.
     Replace <location> with the Azure region where you want the NSG to be created (e.g.,
    eastus, westus, etc.).

    Example:
    bash
    Copy code
    az network nsg create --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name
    MyNSG --location eastus

    This command creates a Network Security Group named MyNSG in the MyResourceGroup
    within the East US region.

    bash
    Copy code
    az vm create \
    --resource-group test \
    --name myWebVM \
    --location uksouth \
    --size Standard_B1s \
    --image Ubuntu2204 \
    --admin-username azureuser \
    --admin-password Niraj98452#### \
    --authentication-type password \
    --enable-secure-boot true \
    --enable-vtpm true \
    --nsg sg_test \
    --custom-data user_data.txt \
    --no-wait

    Command Breakdown:

     --resource-group test: Uses the existing test resource group.


     --name myWebVM: The VM name is myWebVM.
     --location uksouth: The region is UK South.
     --size Standard_B1s: Specifies the VM size.
     --image UbuntuLTS: Uses the latest Ubuntu LTS image.
     --admin-username azureuser: Sets azureuser as the admin username.
     --authentication-type ssh: Uses SSH for authentication.
     --generate-ssh-keys: Automatically generates SSH keys if you don’t have them.
     --custom-data cloud-init-web.txt: Uses the cloud-init-web.txt file for the user
    data.
    Step 3: Save and Use the Cloud-init Script

    1. Create a file named cloud-init-web.txt.


    2. Paste the following user data script into the file:

    bash
    Copy code
    #!/bin/bash
    # Install Apache
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install -y apache2
    # Create a simple HTML file
    echo "<html><body><h1>Hello from Azure VM!</h1></body></html>" | sudo tee
    /var/www/html/index.html
    # Start Apache
    sudo systemctl enable apache2
    sudo systemctl start apache2

    3. Run the az vm create command, specifying the path to your cloud-init-web.txt file.

    Verify the Setup:

    Once the VM is created:

    1. Retrieve the public IP address of the VM:

    bash
    Copy code
    az vm show --resource-group test --name myWebVM --show-details --query
    [publicIps] --output tsv

    2. Open a web browser and go to http://<Public_IP>.

    You should see the message: "Hello from Azure VM!"


    Command to Check File Ownership
    bash
    Copy code
    ls -l /path/to/file

    Example

    If you want to check the ownership of the file /var/www/html/index.html, you would use:

    bash
    Copy code
    ls -l /var/www/html/index.html

    To modify an HTML file with write privileges in Linux, you'll first need to ensure that the user has the
    correct permissions. Here's a basic approach using **sudo** to ensure you can edit the HTML file
    (typically located in `/var/www/html/` on an Apache server).

    ### Step 1: Change the File Ownership (Optional)

    If you're logged in as a non-root user (like `azureuser`), you might need to modify the permissions or
    change the file ownership to gain write access.

    ```bash

    sudo chown azureuser /var/www/html/index.html

    ```

    This command changes the ownership of the `index.html` file to your user (`azureuser`), allowing you to
    edit the file directly.

    ### Step 2: Modify the File Using a Text Editor (e.g., `nano`)

    ```bash

    sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html

    ```
    This command opens the file in the `nano` text editor with **sudo** privileges, allowing you to make
    changes to the HTML content.

    For example, you can change the content to:

    ```html

    <html>

    <body>

    <h1>Updated content from Azure VM!</h1>

    </body>

    </html>

    ```

    ### Step 3: Save the Changes

    - After editing the file, press **Ctrl+O** to write (save) the changes.

    - Then press **Ctrl+X** to exit `nano`.

    ### Step 4: Verify Ownership (Optional)

    If needed, you can revert the ownership of the file back to `www-data` (the default Apache user) after
    editing:

    ```bash

    sudo chown www-data /var/www/html/index.html

    ```

    ### Step 5: Restart Apache (Optional)

    If the web page doesn't immediately reflect the changes, you might want to restart the Apache service:
    ```bash

    sudo systemctl restart apache2

    ```

    Now, when you navigate to the webpage (e.g., `http://<VM_Public_IP>`), you should see the updated
    content.

    az group delete --name <resource-group-name> --yes --no-wait


    az group delete --name MyResourceGroup --yes --no-wait
    az group delete --name SubnetNAT --yes --no-wait
    az group list --output table
