I have a Linux (Ubuntu) virtual machine running on Azure.
It seems like the only way to connect to it is via SSH.
This is OK for normal operation, but what to do when something goes wrong (fsck waiting for user-input, new kernel doesn't boot, mis-configured network, etc.)?

There is a grayed out "Connect" button in the management interface, and the help for it says:

To access a virtual machine running Windows Server, click Connect and follow the instructions. Enter the password that was set when the virtual machine was created. The Connect button is not available for a virtual machine running Linux, but you can use your favorite SSH program to access it.

I've read the documentation on the command line tools, but there is also no way to connect to it.

Is there any way for me to get such a console?

I'm currently using 2 providers to send e-Mails and one host which directly sends e-Mails.
Personal mails are sent via Google and application generated via a bulk e-mail provider.
Both are sent from the same domain (example.com).

Google specifies to use this record ("Create SPF records"):
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

The other provider specifies:
v=spf1 include:spf.provider.com ?all

I created the following TXT record (ip4 value changed):
v=spf1 ip4:127.0.0.1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.provider.com ?all

I have tested this by sending mails via both providers to a Googlemail address and it passes.
However the [email protected] service of port25.com reports (again hostnames/IPs changed):

Result:         permerror (multiple SPF records)  
ID(s) verified: [email protected]  
 DNS record(s):  
    example.com. SPF (no records)  
    example.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:127.0.0.1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.provider.com ?all"  
     example.com. 3600 IN TXT "google-site-verification=$hash$"  
     _spf.google.com. SPF (no records)  
     _spf.google.com. 300 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:216.239.32.0/19 ip4:64.233.160.0/19 ip4:66.249.80.0/20 ip4:72.14.192.0/18 ip4:209.85.128.0/17 ip4:66.102.0.0/20 ip4:74.125.0.0/16 ip4:64.18.0.0/20 ip4:207.126.144.0/20 ip4:173.194.0.0/16 ?all"  
     spf.provider.com. SPF (no records)  
     spf.provider.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:127.0.0.2 ~all"  
     spf.provider.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:127.0.0.2 ~all"

Is this verifier correct with its conclusion?
