Working with Azure Virtual Machine (VM) - my experience
*** Update ***
I just switched to managed Premium SSD disk and shrank it to 32GB (from 128) thanks to this post:

Now, I am supposed to pay $5.81 a month fixed price for disk (instead of $22).
This is pretty affordable
Can i ask you guys something? "My company" wants me to start working with a virtual machine or virtual desktop i don't know. So far, i connect to their SQL databases through a VPN connection.
1. Everybody who has access to that dataset can change it, right?
2. Also, they didn't told me anything about connecting through a VPN. Shouldn't they?
3. Why is not safe anymore keep working the way i use to?

If the company allocates you a virtual machine, there is a big chance it is already connected to their network in a secured way, so you won'y need a VPN.
If you do - you can install in on the VM and use it as you would on your PC.
They want you to work with their VM becase they have a lot more security control over it.
