Microsoft Azure Marketplace Virtual Machine
A Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine (VM) provides on-demand, high-scale, secure, virtualized infrastructure using Linux. “An Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualization without having to buy and maintain the physical hardware that runs it.”
Azure resources are distributed across multiple geographical regions around the world. The region is called location, which specifies where the virtual hard disks are stored.
The size of the VM you create depends on the workload that you want to run. The size you choose determines processing power, memory, and storage capacity.
A VM image is a template that contains a software configuration (for example, an operating system, an application server, and applications). A VM image provides the information required to launch a VM—a virtual server in the cloud.
The Vector VM image is a Linux image that contains:
• CentOS 7.4
• Vector Community Edition or Enterprise Edition
• Sample database table
• Sample data—real-world data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation
It is available in the Azure Marketplace and can be deployed in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. For more information, see
