Azure Virtual Machine

This blueprint creates an Azure Virtual Machine with best practices such as disabling password authentication by default to enhance security and encouraging the use of SSH keys for authentication. It uses managed disks and defaults to the latest Ubuntu LTS image. Variables are organized into intuitive groups to assist users who may not be cloud infrastructure experts. The blueprint also promotes the use of tags for better resource identification and management.
