You can see that the status of the current VM is displayed in the Virtual machine status column so that you know whether it is currently configured or started or running. After we just click the Create Virtual Machine button, it takes a few minutes to complete the virtual machine configuration, of course, this is done automatically in the background, do not need us to do anything, wait a few minutes to see the virtual machine is in the running state.

So how do we use the virtual machine we created to run a specific service? Very simple! When a virtual machine is selected, there will be a row of action buttons at the bottom of the page, we just need to click the Connect button and a dialog will pop up asking whether to open the RDP connection or to save an RDP connection file, which allows us to telnet directly to the virtual machine.
