On the top portion of the Basics step, make sure to set Security type to Standard and the VM Image named standard - x64 Gen1 with the Chariot logo next to it.

Configure anything else that may be required in the remaining VM wizard steps to complete your Chariot MQTT Server deployment.

You will need to configure additional Networking rules on the Chariot VM instance to allow connections to Chariot's web UI (default port is 8080), MQTT (port 1883) and MQTTS (port 8883) ports.
