Web Server Using Azure Virtual Machine

This example provisions a Linux web server in an Azure Virtual Machine and gives it a public IP address.

Prerequisites

Node.js
Download and install the Pulumi CLI
Connect Pulumi with your Azure account (if your az CLI is configured, no further changes are required)

Create a new stack:
```
$ pulumi stack init dev
```
Configure the app deployment. The username and password here will be used to configure the Virtual Machine. The password must adhere to the Azure restrictions on VM passwords.
```
$ pulumi config set azure:location westus    # any valid Azure region will do
$ pulumi config set username webmaster
$ pulumi config set password <your-password> --secret
```
Note that --secret ensures your password is encrypted safely.
Login to Azure CLI (you will be prompted to do this during deployment if you forget this step):
```
$ az login
```
Restore NPM dependencies:
```
$ npm install
```

Run pulumi up to preview and deploy changes:

$ pulumi up
