Guide – How To Start – VM with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Basic

Connection to VM with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Basic

To start the server, run the VM through Azure Portal.

1. For the connection to the server, you should know the IP address of the VM. You can find it in the personal account of Azure. You need to select the virtual machine from the list. By clicking the item “Overview”, your IP is displayed in the “Public IP Address” line.

2. You can connect to your VM in two ways. 

• With OpenSSH

In the Windows 10 operating system (starting with version 1809), an OpenSSH client is available, allowing you to connect to Linux servers via SSH. If you have a suitable version of Windows 10 with the OpenSSH client installed, you can start the connection via SSH. To do this, open a standard Windows command prompt and enter the command ” ssh user@*vm_ip*” where “user” is the username specified during the virtual machine creation, and “vm_ip” is the VM’s IP address. In the opened console, you’ll need to enter the password specified during the virtual machine creation.

• With the PuTTY application

To use this method, you’ll need the PuTTY application to connect via SSH. You can download it from the following link: Download

Run PuTTY, enter the VM’s address in the “Host” field, and click “Open” to establish a connection

In the opened console, you’ll need to enter the username and password specified when the VM was created (note that the password will not be visible in the console while entering it).

Now you can work with a completely clean VM with Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Basic
