Ubuntu with a desktop and RDP on Azure

Often while working on various projects, we need VMs with the OS which is different then the one available on local laptop. 
More often then not I need Ubuntu which I don't have on my mac and I end up creating a VM on Azure, RDP into it from my local mac machine. 

In order to do this, one can create a VM on Azure (I chose Ubuntu 18.04 LTS image on Azure). Once created SSH into machine and follow the below instructions to ensure that you are able to RDP into this machine. 

Use the following script to achieve it. 

You can now go ahead and RDP into the machine.
