FreeSBC Azure Image
A virtual machine image is a single file that contains a virtual disk that has a bootable operating system installed on it. Images are used to create virtual machine instances within the cloud.
You will need to upload the latest FreeSBC image into your Microsoft Azure account before you can launch a virtual machine instance running the FreeSBC software.
Get a storage account
You'll need a storage account in Azure to store the uploaded VM image. You can either use an existing storage account or create a new one. The storage account is linked to a resource group which contains the location information. Note that the storage account location must be at the same location where you'll be creating the VM.
Create resource group
If you need to create a storage account to upload VM image then you will need a resource group which matches the location where you'll be creating the VM. Here is a procedure to create a resource group if required to do so:
- Log in to the dashboard.

- From Resource groups top menu, click 'Add' item.
