Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 80 and 443 (HTTP/S) — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Browse to http://<VM-IP>/ — NGINX answers immediately; drop server blocks into /etc/nginx/conf.d/ and `sudo systemctl reload nginx`.
SELinux is enforcing: keep content under /usr/share/nginx/html or label custom roots with `chcon -Rt httpd_sys_content_t`.

Common use cases

Web serving on a RHEL-compatible base
Reverse proxy and TLS termination
Load balancing upstream app servers
Static content and caching

Why our images

Freshly rebuilt against the latest security advisories, no shared default credentials, Trusted Launch support, and automatic OS security updates — everything runs in your own Azure subscription under your governance.
