Few tips:

- Use unique storage account name - avoid capital letter or special characters.

- Note down the ssh password - you might need it in the future.

- If you do not know the public source ip that you will use to start the connection, you can set 0.0.0.0/0 as management access ip source - We strongly recommend editing the Network Security Group later with a specific public ip.

- Keep Image version as ''latest''.

- Edit WAN and LAN subnet ip's according to your preference.
