    Hi Juan Antonio Pigurina,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum. 

    Where am I seeing this?

    Topic: AZ-900

    Learning Path: Azure Fundamentals: Describe Azure architecture and services.

    Module: Describe Azure compute and networking services

    Unit: Exercise - Create an Azure Virtual Machine

    I've made multiple attempts to reproduce the issue, and I can confirm that the documented steps function correctly for me.

    Here's a brief rundown of the steps:

    1. Activate a new sandbox and create the VM as indicated in the Exercise (Step 1 under "Create a Linux VM and Install Nginx").
    2. After completing Step 1, Please activate new sandbox and create the VM as instructed in the exercise.
    3. After Task 1 finishes, make a note of the publicIpAddress that was assigned to the VM (e.g. 20.245.72.52). Start Task 2, and then when it errors out, follow steps below:

    Connect to the newly created VM using ssh (in cloud shell). You will need to substitute the publicIpAddress you noted above for <VM public ip address> below:

    ssh azureuser@<VM public ip address>

    Enter yes when you are prompted.

    Copy and right-click -- paste the following three commands below in the cloud shell window. Wait for each to complete before pasting in the next command.

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install -y nginx

    echo "<html><body><h2>Welcome to Azure! My name is $(hostname).</h2></body></html>" | sudo tee -a /var/www/html/index.html

    If the issue continues to persist, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
