VM sizes are grouped into categories, starting with the B-series for basic testing, and running up to the H-series for massive computing tasks. You should select the VM's size based on the workload you want to perform. It's possible to change a VM's size after it's been created, but the VM must be stopped first, so it's best to size it appropriately from the start if possible.

Connecting to a VM in Azure using RDP is a simple process. In the Azure portal, you'll go to your VM's properties, and at the top, select **Connect**. This shows you the IP addresses assigned to the VM and give you the option to download a **preconfigured.rdp** file that Windows then opens in the RDP client. You can choose to connect over the public IP address of the VM in the RDP file. Instead, if you're connecting over VPN or ExpressRoute, you can select the internal IP address. You can also select the port number for the connection.
