 ## Introduction
 
-There are several ways to create an Arm-based Cobalt 100 virtual machine: the Microsoft Azure portal, the Azure CLI, or your preferred infrastructure as code (IaC) tool. In this section, you use the Azure portal to create a virtual machine with the Arm-based Azure Cobalt 100 processor.

 ## Create an Arm-based Azure virtual machine
 
-Creating a virtual machine based on Azure Cobalt 100 is similar to creating any other virtual machine in Azure. To create an Azure virtual machine, launch the Azure portal and navigate to **Virtual Machines**
+Creating a virtual machine based on Azure Cobalt 100 is similar to creating any other virtual machine in Azure. 
+
+To create the Azure virtual machine, launch the Azure portal and navigate to **Virtual Machines**. Then follow these steps:
 
-- Select **Create**, then choose **Virtual machine** from the drop-down list
-- In the **Basics** tab, fill in 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, select **See all sizes**, choose the **D-series v6** family of virtual machines, then select **D4ps_v6**

-Now select **SSH public key** as the authentication type. Azure can generate an SSH key pair for you and store it for future use. It is a fast, simple, and secure way to connect to your virtual machine
-Enter the **Administrator username** for your VM
-Select **Generate new key pair**, then select **RSA SSH format** as the SSH key type. RSA can offer better security with keys longer than 3072 bits. Give a **Key pair name** to your SSH key
-In **Inbound port rules**, select **HTTP (80)** and **SSH (22)** as the inbound ports. The default port for NGINX when handling standard web traffic (HTTP) is 80
