4 | * First you need to submit paperwork to be approved as a 501c3: https://nonprofit.microsoft.com/en-us/getting-started. Approval can take 1 day or 3-4 weeks - I've seen both multiple times. |

8 | 1 | Jon Goldberg | * You need a Sponsorship->Subscription->Resource Group->Virtual Machine. |
9 | * Check that you have credits in your sponsored account: https://www.microsoftazuresponsorships.com/Balance |
||
10 | 4 | Jon Goldberg | * Add a subscription of type "Microsoft Azure Sponsorship" from the Azure portal. You may have to select "Show other subscription types" to see it. |
11 | * **Note**: Even sponsored subscriptions require a credit card, make sure you have one available. |
||
12 | 5 | Jon Goldberg | * Create a resource group: |
13 | * Select "Resource Group" from the main Azure portal. Select **Add** and give it a name, then **Review and Create**. |
||
14 | * Add a virtual machine: |
||
15 | * Click on your new resource group. |
||
16 | * Click **Add** |
||
17 | * Search for the name of the image you want (e.g. Debian). |
||
18 | * See the screenshots below for configuration of the "Basics" and "Disk" tabs. The other tabs I keep with the defaults. |
||
19 | * I've attached a downloaded template for this VM, which as of now I haven't used yet, not sure how it works. |
||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | |||
23 | * [TODO] VM config allows adding endpoints for ports 22, 80, 443; need 5665 as well. |
