1 summarizes

A list of Linux distributions, including Oracle Linux, is available in the Azure VM collection. An effective way to access Linux VM desktops remotely is via VNC (Virtual Network Computing). VNC is used to display X Windows sessions running on another computer. Unlike remote X connections, xserver runs on a remote computer rather than a local workstation. Your workstation (Linux or Windows) displays only a copy of the display running on the remote computer. The configuration steps required to connect to Oracle Linux VMs via VNC (Virtual Network Computing) are reported in this comment. The following list shows two configurations:

Connect directly to VNC server

Establish VNC connection tunnels via SSH.
