Very simple deployment of a Linux VM

Description

This is a conversion of ARM template 101-vm-simple-linux  from the repository azure\azure-quickstart-templates to Terraform configuration.

This configuration deploys a Linux VM Ubuntu using the latest patched version. This will deploy a Standard_B2s size VM and a 18.04-LTS Version as defaultValue in the resource group location and will return the admin user name, Virtual Network Name, Network Security Group Name and FQDN, and it will deploy the following resources…

Note:
