The document discusses using PowerShell to manage Azure resources. It begins with introducing the speaker and their background in PowerShell and Azure. It then provides an overview of PowerShell and Azure, including what PowerShell is, what Azure is, and how to get started using PowerShell with Azure. The document demonstrates how to create virtual machines and networks in Azure using PowerShell cmdlets. It also demonstrates how to create and use Azure file storage with PowerShell. The document emphasizes that using PowerShell makes automating Azure tasks easy and the Azure PowerShell cmdlets are constantly evolving.
Doing Azure With PowerShell
- 1. DOING AZURE WITH POWERSHELL Thomas Lee PS Partnership Partner [email protected]
- 2. Who Am I? I am Thomas Lee - Partner at PS Partnership 17 Time MVP, MCT, etc I tweet from @DoctorDNS I blog at http://tfl09.blogspot.com Email me [email protected] When not tweeting/blogging I like to listen to my large collection of Grateful Dead live show recordings. I blog, tweet, teach, and support Azure and PowerShell
- 3. AGENDA What IS PowerShell? What is Azure? Getting started and setup Creating Virtual Machines using PowerShell Creating Virtual Networks using PowerShell Creating File Storage in Azure using PowerShell
- 4. BEFORE WE START… The slides and demo files for this talk are shared on Dropbox: http://bit.ly/ucdayfiles Enjoy!!

- 7. POWERSHELL IS… Microsoft’s strategic task automation platform for IT Pros
- 8. Cmdlets Objects Pipeline LOOKING AT POWERSHELL
- 9. POWERSHELL CMDLETS These are tiny programs that do the work All the rest is syntax, syntax, syntax Cmdlets come from many places Built-in Included with Windows features Included with applications Commercial Community (PowerShell Gallery) PowerShell cmdlets distributed as Modules Getting key modules is easy with PowerShell Gallery and PSGet
- 10. OBJECTS PowerShell Cmdlets produce and consume objects Objects are based on .NET .NET Objects are native WMI/CIM objects are COM data wrapped in .NET Object COM objects are adapted See the output of a cmdlet by piping it to Get-Member Azure object documentation is evolving
- 11. THE PIPELINE The output of one command becomes the input to the next command Base on Linux/Unix Pipeline But based on objects not raw text No prayer-based parsing Extremely powerful in operation
- 12. SYNTAX, SYNTAX, SYNTAX PowerShell is a programming/scripting language It has syntax – and you need to learn it Syntax errors usually easy to troubleshoot Good error messages for the most part Errors using cmdlets can be harder to troubleshoot Some Azure cmdlet messages are cryptic If stuck – there are places you can get help like Spiceworks.Com
- 13. WHAT IS AZURE?
- 14. Do I even need to ask?
- 15. AZURE Microsoft operated data centre in the cloud
- 16. WINDOWS AZURE SERVICES You can manage Azure using PowerShell
- 17. USING CMDLETS AGAINST AZURE You can use PowerShell cmdlets to manage almost all Azure resources The cmdlets are a wrapper around the underlying REST based APIs The cmdlets have changed a lot and continue to be improved The Story of Two APIs and cmdlets to suit each
- 18. GETTING STARTED
- 19. BEFORE WE CAN MANAGE AZURE You need to setup your management environment Install latest updates Setup your desktop Update $Profile with useful commands For this talk, I created a new Outlook.com account ([email protected]) and a trial Azure account for this email address
- 20. FOR OUR DEMOS C:Foo setup as location to put scripts, etc. Added a $Profile for both ISE and Console Create Personal Modules drive Also Turned off IE Protected mode Update-Help
- 21. GETTING AZURE MODULES You need to find, then get and install the cmdlets Use Find-Module to find Azure modules (On PSGallery) This requires you also installing the NuGet Provider For this talk, we are using the PowerShell gallery as the source of the cmdlets There are other places, but PowerShell Gallery is easy with PowerShellGet module Once you download the cmdlets, ensure you update help Update-Help
- 22. FINDING MODULES
- 23. INSTALLING MODULES Azure Service Management API based cmdlets Azure module Azure Resource Manager API based cmdlets AzureRM module(s) Modules and contained Cmdlets change regularly Changes are versioned You can update using Update-Module
- 24. GETTING SETUP IN AZURE Download/Install the cmdlets Login to Azure Create Resource Group(s) and Storage Account(s) Create some tags And get more familiar with the Azure cmdlets
- 25. Demo 0 Getting Started with Azure
- 26. CREATING VIRTUAL MACHINES AND NETWORKS
- 27. CREATING A VIRTUAL NETWORK Define Azure subnets New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig Create the virtual network New-AzureRMVirtualNetwork
- 28. CREATING A VIRTUAL MACHINE IN THE VNET First create a VMConfig object New-AzureRmVmConfig Use cmdlets to add configuration items to this config object Set-AzureRmVMOperatingSystem Set-AzureRmVMSourceImage Add-AzureRmVMNetworkInterface Set-AzureRmVMOSDisk Create the VM using the VM config object New-AzureRmVM
- 29. Demo 1 Creating a Virtual Network and a VM
- 30. THINGS YET TO DO That demo created a VPN, but without a VPN gateway To create the gateway you need to both create a gateway and configure your local end For Site to Site VPNs, you need to setup your VPN server For Point to Site VPNs, you need to download and install the client P2S is easy to setup but You have to manually install the VPN client (you can automate the download!) You have to manually turn the VPN on (Rasdial does not work to connect to the VPN) There is an additional demo that can show this – if we get time…
- 31. AZURE FILES
- 32. AZURE FILES Provides SMB based storage in Azure Great for apps you want to move to the cloud with minimal change You set up using some simple PowerShell – or the GUI if you must! Most of the automation is actually pretty easy You access it using standard tools and drive mappings Use PowerShell to setup the share, then use standard commands and cmdlets to manage/use the file store It feels very familiar in usage
- 33. CREATING A FILE SHARE IN AZURE Create an Azure storage account to hold the files (done already for the VM) Get storage account key and storage account context Then create a new Azure Storage Share Once related, you can use New-SMBMapping to create a local drive mapping
- 34. Demo 2 Creating and Using an Azure File Share
- 35. SUMMARY Using Azure with PowerShell is easy Creating a virtual network Creating a virtual machine Using Azure files The cmdlets are in a state of constant change Test updates carefully Watch for the updates and what new features they bring You can easily automate almost of all the things you can do with/on/to Azure

Editor's Notes
- #6: First of all... I would like to thank all the sponsors for UC and Day 2016 as without either support we would not be able to put on this great community event.
