Azure Powershell Step-by-Step

Deploy Azure virtual machines from Marketplace images with Azure PowerShell by selecting a publisher, offer, and SKU for the Windows Server 2016 Data Center image.

Create and deploy customized Azure PowerShell virtual machines by generalizing a source virtual machine with Sysprep, creating an image via Azure PowerShell, and launching new virtual machines from that image.

Learn to create a disk image from an existing VM, deploy a new VM from a custom image with Azure PowerShell, and manage images by finding, listing, and removing them.

Execute a lab to provision a virtual machine from a disk image using Azure PowerShell, including creating a resource group, capturing the OS disk image, and deploying a second VM.

Learn to create, attach, and snapshot Azure data disks, deploy virtual machines from snapshots, and manage operating system and temporary disks, plus standard and premium disk options with PowerShell.

Configure and create a 128 GB data disk, attach it to the VM, and update the VM. Initialize, partition, and format the disk inside the OS (NTFS, data disk label).

Create resource group, deploy VM, and provision a data disk with Azure PowerShell; attach, initialize, partition, and format it, then validate by creating a text file on the disk.

Learn to create an Azure VM snapshot from an existing virtual machine, configure and capture the snapshot, then deploy a new virtual machine from that snapshot using a managed disk.

Create a virtual machine from a snapshot using Azure PowerShell by loading the snapshot, building a disk and VM config, configuring network settings, then deploying the VM.

Create a virtual machine snapshot, create a disk from the snapshot, and deploy a virtual machine from that disk using Azure PowerShell cmdlets, with resource group setup and cleanup.

Explore how PowerShell on Azure enables high availability for virtual machines by using availability sets distributed across fault and update domains, and reinforce with load balancers through hands-on exercises.

Create an Azure availability set with PowerShell, then deploy two virtual machines into it and verify their placement across fault and update domains.

Create an availability set, provision two virtual machines in a resource group, install IaaS on both VMs, and verify both VMs appear in the availability set configuration.

Learn to design and deploy Azure load balancers that distribute traffic across multiple VMs, configure front end and backend pools, and implement health probes to ensure high availability.

configure a load balancer with front-end and back-end configurations, health probe, and port 80 rule, then deploy two virtual machines with NICs attached to an availability set behind the balancer.

Test the azure load balancer by identifying which vm handles each request, using two behind it with default.html pages that display each vm name and manage backend network interface cards.
