What's inside
The full architecture
A Windows VM with no public IP, RDP through Azure Bastion, outbound via NAT Gateway, private subnets, NSGs, managed disks, diagnostics and backup.
The definition of done
Exactly what "working" means for each pass, so you know when you've finished instead of guessing — including the checks that prove it.
Where people get stuck
The failures you're going to hit, listed up front. Not to save you from them — so you recognise them when they happen.
