Azure Subscription

You need an active Azure subscription with permissions to:

• Create resource groups
• Create VMs (Standard_B2s)
• Create storage accounts
• Create NSG rules

Setup Steps

1. Install Azure CLI

curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

2. Login to Azure

az login
az account set --subscription "<your-subscription>"

3. Install Node.js

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install 20

4. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/ibranibeny/AzureLatencyTest.git
cd AzureLatencyTest

Verify Setup

az --version        # Should show 2.60+
node --version      # Should show v18+
az account show     # Should show your subscription

If using WSL on Windows, ensure you run all commands from the WSL terminal, not PowerShell.
