Create an azure virtual machine
Azure powershell provides the New-AzVM cmdlet to create a new virtual machine.
This cmd has many parameters to let it handle the large number of VM configuration settings. Most of the parameters have reasonable default values, so we only need to specify five things
ResourceGroupName - resource group into which the new VM should be placed.
Name - the name of the VM
Location - geographic location of where the VM is provisioned
Credential - object containing the username and password for the VM admin account.
Image - the OS image to use for VM
