High performance for real-time analytics
Built-in UI for exploring and visualizing data
Flux language for advanced querying and data transformation
Secure token-based authentication
Efficient data compression
APIs for writing, querying, and managing data

On the Create a virtual machine page, you can see the details about the VM you are about to create. When you are ready, select Create.

It will take a few minutes for your VM to be deployed. When the deployment is finished, move on to the next section.

Connect to virtual machine

Create an SSH connection with the VM.

Select the Connect button on the overview page for your VM.
In the Connect to virtual machine page, keep the default options to connect by IP address over port 22. In Login using VM local account a connection command is shown. Select the button to copy the command. The following example shows what the SSH connection command looks like:

ssh azureuser@<ip>

Using the same bash shell you used to create your SSH key pair (you can reopen the Cloud Shell by selecting >_ again or going to https://shell.azure.com/bash), paste the SSH connection command into the shell to create an SSH session.
