Book Description
Azure PowerShell (PowerShell + Az Module) is a set of cmdlets to manage Azure resources directly from the PowerShell command line. Azure PowerShell is designed to make it easy to learn and get started with managing Azure resources and provides powerful features for automation. It is used to perform powerful, common tasks in Microsoft Azure through an extension of Windows PowerShell. Without logging in, users can enter a single cmdlet from the command line to create a new virtual machine.
This course is designed to take the system administrators to an advanced level and make them more efficient at their work. You will find ways to automate your daily work using the advantages of Windows PowerShell. It covers a wider list of topics such as how to deploy a virtual machine in Azure Cloud, connecting local PowerShell to Azure, deploying new Azure resources using PowerShell, Azure PowerShell to query and format output, how to administer Azure storage using Azure PowerShell, application code development, code enhancement, and publishing of the application. The last section focuses on PowerShell basics.
By the end of this course, you will be able to administer and manage Azure resources and automate Azure tasks using PowerShell easily. Administrators will find it easier to create, test, deploy, and manage Azure cloud platform services.
