PowerShell

Command line and scripting language- As interactive and composable as BASH/KSH- As programmatic as Perl/Python/Ruby- As production oriented as AS400 CL/VMS DCL

5CONFIDENTIAL

Cmdlets

We use cmdLets or say Command-LetsCmdlet is made of Verb-Noun Syntax

e.g. SharePoint-Rocks No spaces in cmdLets

ExamplesGet-Help, Stop-Service, Restart-Computer, Get-Command

Verbs Nouns

The Pipeline

o PowerShell has an extremely powerful pipeline that works unlike anything that’s really been done before

o It carries the output of one command to the input of the next… but it does so in an amazingly flexible way

o If you can master the pipeline (and the help system helps!)

Objects

• You may have heard that PowerShell is an object-oriented shell

• People make a big deal of this because it enables a lot… but conceptually it’s pretty simple

• Ever see an Excel spreadsheet? It’s just a data structure, right? Well, that’s all objects are. Data structures, in memory.

• Every PowerShell command (well, most) produces objects… and PowerShell will even show you everything about them

What is Azure Automation?

Microsoft Azure Automation provides a way for users to automate the manual, long-running, error-prone, and frequently repeated tasks that are commonly performed in a cloud and enterprise environment. It saves time and increases the reliability of regular administrative tasks and even schedules them to be automatically performed at regular intervals

Azure Automation Capabilities

Azure

Monitoring Systems

Change Control

Systems

Anything

Runbook Authoring in Azure:Create runbooks to automate all aspects of cloud operations, from deployment, monitoring, and optimizations

Highly Available Engine:

Support requirements for scale and H/A.Built on PowerShell Workflow. Isolation for runbook jobs

Integration into other systems:

Import PS modules and create additional modules and runbooks for Azure services or to connect into 3rd party systems

Typical Azure Automation Scenarios

Patch Azure IaaS VMs without downtime, leveraging Traffic manager.

Enable regeneration of storage account keys while avoiding downtime in the application.

SQL Backup on a schedule.

Backup and restore IaaS VMs.

Deploy a VM on an Azure / On-Premise cloud and enable monitoring for the VM.

Deploy a new service to Azure and configure the end points for CPU and Memory alerts.

Deploy application from Git, run validation tests, and swap to production if tests pass.

Monitor SharePoint online for an approval to update a service and update the service once approved.

Alert on a VM then turn on tracing, collect logs, upload to Azure Storage and make available in Visual Studio for troubleshooting.

Monitor for when a new service gets created, and configure it for the right tracing / backup policy.

Notify users of a subscription who have underutilized VMs and perform remediation.
