 **Update a Virtual Machine**
 
 You can update a virtual machine instance by using the `update() … apply()` method chain.
 
-	linuxVM.update()
-	    .defineNewDataDisk(dataDiskName)
-	    .withSizeInGB(20)
-	    .withCaching(CachingTypes.READ_WRITE)
-	    .attach()
-	    .apply();
+```java
+linuxVM.update()
+    .defineNewDataDisk(dataDiskName)
+    .withSizeInGB(20)
+    .withCaching(CachingTypes.READ_WRITE)
+    .attach()
+    .apply();
+```
 
 **Create a Network Security Group**
 
 You can create a network security group instance by using the `define() … create()` method chain.
 
-    NetworkSecurityGroup frontEndNSG = azure.networkSecurityGroups().define(frontEndNSGName)
-        .withRegion(Region.US_EAST)
-        .withNewResourceGroup(rgName)
-        .defineRule("ALLOW-SSH")

-            .fromAnyAddress()
-            .fromAnyPort()
-            .toAnyAddress()
-            .toPort(22)
-            .withProtocol(NetworkSecurityRule.Protocol.TCP)
-            .withPriority(100)
-            .withDescription("Allow SSH")
-            .attach()
-        .defineRule("ALLOW-HTTP")
-            .allowInbound()
-            .fromAnyAddress()
-            .fromAnyPort()
-            .toAnyAddress()
-            .toPort(80)
-            .withProtocol(NetworkSecurityRule.Protocol.TCP)
-            .withPriority(101)
-            .withDescription("Allow HTTP")
-            .attach()
-        .create();
