**Introduction**In this guide, we will build a complete cloud-based PDF upload system using Microsoft Azure services. This project demonstrates how to combine **cloud computing, secure server access, storage services, and web development** into one working system.

You will learn how to:

* Create and configure an Azure Virtual Machine (VM)
* Open HTTP ports using inbound security rules
* Generate SSH keys using PuTTYgen
* Connect to VM using PuTTY
* Set up Azure Blob Storage
* Configure SAS (Shared Access Signature)
* Enable CORS for frontend access
* Build a web-based PDF uploader
