Different method to create azure virtual machine

[Suhag Desai]

am new to this forum.

want to clarify whether my understanding is correct on creating azure VM through diff method

1) create a VM from azure portal

2) create a VM through Powershell (without using visual studio or JSON)

3) create a json template and deploy json template through power shell

4) create and deploy virtual machine through visual studio console.

is this correct ? if yes, what is the recommanded method to create a azure VM ?

[#2]

Yes. My preferred method is Powershell. I have my own scripts with variables i can change when needed.

thank you.

One question on using VB. if i have jason template ready with me for VM deployment and parameter then i do not need VB to be installed, right ? i can simply edit json file and use it in to powershell command.

is my unerstanding is correct ?
