-Creating a virtual machine based on Azure Cobalt 100 is no different from creating any other virtual machine in Azure. To create an Azure virtual machine, launch the Azure portal and navigate to **Virtual Machines**.
+
+To launch an Arm-based virtual machine on Azure, you will use the Azure portal to create a Linux VM powered by the Cobalt 100 processor. This process is similar to creating any other Azure VM, but you will specifically select the Arm64 architecture and the D-Series v6 (D4ps_v6) size for optimal performance on Arm.

+Follow these steps to deploy a Linux-based Azure Cobalt 100 VM:
 
 - Select **Create**, and click on **Virtual Machine** from the drop-down list.
-- Inside the **Basic** tab, fill in the Instance details such as **Virtual machine name** and **Region**.

 - Choose the image for your virtual machine (for example, Ubuntu Pro 24.04 LTS) and select **Arm64** as the VM architecture.
 - In the **Size** field, click on **See all sizes** and select the D-Series v6 family of virtual machines. Select **D4ps_v6** from the list.
