Learn how to leverage various tools to quickly and consistently create full environments in minutes.

Like most things in life, there's an easy way and a hard way. The same holds true when working in cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure. The Azure management portal and Visual Studio can be great for relatively simple projects, but quickly become tedious when trying to create the multiple resources that often make up a real-world solution. This session will demonstrate how to leverage various tools, such as PowerShell, Azure Resource Manager, Azure Automation, and the Azure Management Library, to quickly and consistently create full environments in minutes.

You will learn:

  • How to use Azure Management Library to create various Azure assets
  • How to use Azure PowerShell cmdlets to query Azure services, deploy VMs and Cloud Services
  • How to leverage Azure Automation to reduce operating costs and other management tasks
