What You'll Learn
Students completing this lab will learn how to perform many day-to-day VM management tasks using the new Azure PowerShell AZ Module. We'll cover PowerShell installation, VM creation, imaging, snapshotting, resizing, and lots of other cool stuff.
-
Kick things off by learning how to install the AZ PowerShell module and hwo to sign in to Azure via PowerShell.
-
Next, you'll learn how to create a Windows virtual machine, using only Azure PowerShell. You'll also learn how to connect to the VM, using PowerShell.
-
You'll also learn how to prepare a VM for imaging, before learning how to take an image of a VM. You'll then learn how to create a new VM from the image.
-
We'll cover the creation of data disks with PowerShell and then the attachment and preparation of such disks.
-
Later in the course, you'll learn how to resize virtual machines, using AZ PowerShell.
-
Coming down the home stretch, you'll learn how to perform basic management tasks with PowerShell, like starting, stopping, restarting, and deleting VMs.
