Generative AI for Developers: Before You Start This Section0:42
To keep this course aligned with today's technology, we've added this AI-focused section. These lessons show how Generative AI can enhance your productivity while reinforcing the importance of strong technical fundamentals. After completing this section, continue with the remaining course content to apply these concepts in practice.
Generative AI for Developers: What AI Can Already Build4:56
See generative AI write a real PowerShell script, a Python script, a GitHub Actions workflow, a Kubernetes manifest, and a Terraform config — live, on screen. Whether you're learning to code, script, or build cloud infrastructure with AI coding assistants like ChatGPT and Copilot, this lecture sets the baseline: here's exactly what AI can already do for you, so the rest of the course can show you what it still can't.
Why Your Automation Skills Still Matter With AI Coding Tools11:49
AI can write a script in seconds — so why keep learning to write one yourself? This lecture answers that honestly, with two live, real examples in PowerShell and Python where AI-generated code looks perfect and quietly isn't. Essential for anyone using an AI coding assistant for scripting, automation, or infrastructure work who wants to close the judgment gap AI can't close for you.
AI can write a script in seconds - so why keep learning to write one yourself?4:45
A real near-miss story, reproduced live: an AI-generated script almost leaks a live API key straight to a public GitHub repo — and how an automated guardrail catches it in seconds. A must-watch for anyone using generative AI for coding, DevOps, or cloud automation who wants to build securely, not just quickly.
AI Habits Every Developer Should Adopt Today5:39
Beyond writing code — five real, practical ways to use generative AI every day: fast upskilling on new tools, automated documentation, smarter troubleshooting with real context, and a head start on architecture diagrams. Straight from a working Generative AI Architect's own daily toolkit, not theory — the habits that actually save time on real scripting, DevOps, and cloud engineering work.

Description

Automate the boring, repetitive cloud admin work with Azure PowerShell. This hands-on course teaches you to control Microsoft Azure from PowerShell - deploying resources, querying and exporting data, administering storage, and building cloud Automation Runbooks that run without you touching a thing.

This is a practical course for system administrators, cloud engineers, and PowerShell users who want to move their automation skills into Azure. If you already know a little PowerShell, you'll feel right at home; if you're newer, a PowerShell basics appendix (execution policy, objects, the pipeline) has you covered.

Cloud automation is one of the highest-leverage skills in IT for 2026 - the difference between clicking through the Azure portal by hand and scripting entire environments in seconds. This course gets you there.

You get 38 lectures across 9 sections, a downloadable course PDF, and practice files - all backed by 1-on-1 instructor support, LIFETIME access, and a 100% money-back guarantee.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - KEY TOPICS COVERED:

- Setting up Azure PowerShell and connecting your local PowerShell to an Azure subscription

- Deploying Azure resources with PowerShell - resource groups and virtual machines

- Querying, filtering, and formatting Azure output, then exporting Azure data

- Administering Azure Storage with Azure PowerShell

- Azure Process Automation - introduction to Automation Runbooks

- Building, publishing, and triggering Automation Runbooks (multiple trigger methods)

- Shared resources in Azure Automation

- Infrastructure as Code - ARM templates and moving to Azure Bicep

- Bonus project: "My Cloud Bucket," a Node.js + Azure SDK web storage app

- PowerShell essentials appendix - execution policy, objects, and the pipeline

By the end you'll be scripting and automating Azure like a pro. Azure PowerShell and cloud automation are must-have, in-demand skills - and this course is a one-stop shop for building them. Happy scripting :)
