On the Agenda

• High level view of Azure and IAAS• Visiting the AzureRM Modules and Cmdlets• Preparing your Virtual Machine Infrastructure• Creating your Virtual Machines• Obtaining Azure Resources• Using Azure Automation

Microsoft AzureOverview Azure IAAS

What *IS* Azure IAAS?

• Remotely Hosted Highly Scalable Virtualization Datacenter

• Plenty of Virtual Machine Templates provided

• Supporting Windows and various versions of Linux as well as Oracle

• Works with PowerShell Desired State Configuration files (DSC) and other technologies such as Chef

Automation Options

• Windows PowerShell Cmdlets

• PowerShell Workflows

• Azure Automation Services

Available Cmdlets

• Almost everything in Microsoft Azure has Cmdlets

• Current List http://bit.ly/AzureCmdletList

• www.powershellgallery.com• Search AzureRM download and install• Presently 27 Modules classified by purpose• 884 Cmdlets at your disposal (*klunk!*)

Available Modules

Creating a Virtual Machine

• On Premise Solution Requirements

• Operating System• Memory• Virtual Disk(s)• CPU Count and Speed• Network Connection(s)• Virtual Network Wire• Firewall Rule(s)

Creating a Virtual Machine

• Azure Virtual Machine Requirements

• Operating System• Memory• Virtual Disk(s) (Cannot Assign Letter D)• CPU Count and Speed• Network Connection (Dynamic IP)• Virtual Network Wire• Firewall Rule(s)

Creating a Virtual Machine

• Azure Virtual Machines

• Quick Create or From Gallery• DNS Name• O/S Image• Size (Predefined VM Template config)• UserName (Default Admin)• Password (Default Password)• Location

Creating a Virtual Machine

• Azure Virtual Machines using PowerShell

• Create AzureRM Configuration• New-AzureRMVMConfig

• Create network card• New-AzureRMPublicIPAddress, New-AzureRMNetworkInterface, Add-AzureRMVMNetworkInterface

• Define Operating System• Set-AzureRMVMOperatingSystem, Set-AzureRMVMSourceImage

Creating a Virtual Machine

• A quick way to grab the JSON configuration

• Get-AzureRMVM• Set-AzureRMVM –generalized• Save-AzureRMVM

• *OR*

• View before provisioning in AzureRM GUI Portal

Creating a Virtual Machine

Azure Virtual MachinesAzure Resources through

PowerShell

Azure Resources through PowerShell

• Resources you will need to get names for

• Virtual Machine Template name / VHD Filename• Geographic Locations• Virtual Machine Role Sizes• Service Names• Storage Accounts• Networks

Azure Resources through PowerShell

• Access those needed resources with Cmdlets

• Get-AzureRMVMImage• Get-AzureRMResourceGroup• Get-AzureRMStorageAccount• Get-AzureRMVirtualNetwork• Get-AzureRMNetwork• Get-AzureRMVM• Access properties of a VM to get all resource data

Azure Resources through PowerShell

Azure Virtual MachinesLeveraging Azure

Automation

Virtual Machine States

• Three possible states• Running

• Operating System is up and Resouces Allocated• Costing Money

• Deallocated• Operating System is down and Resourcs are Deallocated• Not Costing Money

• StoppedVM• (Operating System if off, Resources are still Allocated)• Costing Money

Scheduling PowerShell Scripts

• On Premise Server connecting through the Internet• Requires Internet• Scripts can be used immediately

• Azure Automation hosted within Azure• No Internet required• Some reconfiguration needed

Using Azure Automation

• Build an Automation account

• Create Automation Credentials

• Populate Scripts within the Runbook

• Build Variables within Azure Automation

• Setup a schedule

Leveraging Azure Automation

Take aways

• AzureRM Virtual Machines are just Hyper-V “in the cloud”

• You can access all resources from just PowerShell alone

• Create a Virtual Machine in the Web console first, then use PowerShell to identify all your needed Azure resources

• Azure Automation allows you to schedule and manage Virtual Machines without the need for Internet
