+# Azure Virtual Machines
+
+Deploy and manage Azure VMs and scale sets.
+
+## Create VM
+
+```bash
+az vm create \
+  --resource-group mygroup \
+  --name myvm \
+  --image Ubuntu2204 \
+  --size Standard_B2s \
+  --admin-username azureuser \
+  --generate-ssh-keys \
+  --nsg-rule SSH
+```
+
+## Scale Sets
+
+```bash
+az vmss create \
+  --resource-group mygroup \
+  --name myvmss \
+  --image Ubuntu2204 \
+  --instance-count 2 \
+  --vm-sku Standard_B2s \
+  --upgrade-policy-mode automatic
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Use managed disks
+- Implement availability zones
+- Use scale sets for auto-scaling
+- Enable Azure Backup
+- Use spot instances for cost savings
