 ARM Template doc : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/

Declarative syntax: ARM templates allow you to create and deploy an entire Azure infrastructure declaratively. For example, you can deploy not only virtual machines, but also the network infrastructure, storage systems, and any other resources you may need.

6. Lecture: Accessing Azure :

There are various way to access Azure  : Through various APIs . If you want to program against Azure , multiple APIs  are available as well.

The four ways of accessing Azure are as follows  .


Lets start with Azure : http:/portal.azure.com

Next we have Azure Power shell , Then you can login to the Azure through powershell


Next is Azure CLI : This came along a little bit later

Next is the Mobile App just came out. Available for IPhone or Andriod . This gives you nice Visual Machine running .

7. PowerShell Guide

PowerShell Guide

This guide will provide you with a reference to key PowerShell commands necessary for Azure administrators as well as required to pass the Azure Administrator and Expert certification exams (AZ-103 (AZ-104), AZ-300 (AZ-303), and AZ-301 (AZ-304) from Microsoft.

If you are completely new to PowerShell, we highly recommend you check out the Microsoft Azure PowerShell Overview which has a number of tutorials and guides for learning the basics. This guide is made up of several PowerShell commands which have been reference from the Microsoft documentation and other sources. Before running any of these commands in production, please be sure to test them out in an Azure test account. Some commands are destructive in nature (e.g. removing resource groups, tags etc.) and you need to make sure you fully understand the commands that you execute.

The guide is divided up into the following sections:

· Downloading PowerShell and Installing Azure ARM Modules for PowerShell

· Accounts and Subscriptions

· Resource Groups

· Governance

· Storage

· Virtual Machines

· Networking

· Azure Active Directory

We hope you enjoy this guide and keep it handy by your desk for all your day to day Azure Administrator needs.

9. Demo: Azure Portal Overview  - How to create a VM take a complete screen shot later

In this demonstration we are now going to have a quick look of the Azure Portal .

Go click All Services  -- Click Virtual Machines

Availability Set . Short version of that means if i pick more than one virtual machines here they will be on separate hosts in the same data center if you are coming from a VM ware background . Think of it as a HA anti affinity rules is a good example .

10. Lecture: Accounts and Subscriptions Overview

If you are an Enterprise you will something that is unique . You have something called Azure Enterprise Agreement where you have an additional portal where people might be swiping their cards.


In that portal you can go-ahead and create various departments and then go-ahead and create sub accounts

But for lot of people you just start with accounts section that if you are trying out. Once you have created the subscriptions you will then access the Azure portal and you will put resources inside of it. 

And inside of subscriptions you will create Resource Group  and under it we have Resource.

They have also introduced Management Groups recently


You go a little bit further and see the account to subscription relationship .

When you have Azure Enterprise Enrollment it has 1 to many relationship .


Department is not necessary it is just the way you are organizingis setup .



11. Demo: Accounts and Subscription Management

you have to go to account.azure.com


Continued ....Need to document subscription and billing 

12. Lecture: Resource Groups

 This is the the way that go about in organizing their resources

 Example

 


It is essentially a container where we put everything in , you can control security there is also the grouping of resources together . When you go ahead and destroy a resource group you can go ahead and destroy everything inside of that .


13. Demo: Resource Groups and
Tagging
Resource Base Access Control .

Azure policies that we can apply as well , say for example -- In this resource group you can only deploy work load of X size .


13. Demo: Resource Groups and Tagging

You can put object from other regions can be put into your resource group . The purpose for the region of the resource group is the Meta-Data for that resource group is actually stored.


Go into the resource group, one we have an Activity Log


We have Access Control Session : So we can assign permissions . We can add role assignments directly to the resource groups . So think of this as another boundary for giving access, we don't want to give subscription access or any role in the subscription . We just want to give access to certain resources to somebody that we put in the resource group.


Because we have got loads of resources in our group . As you put in resource in the resource group this is the place you can see the roll up of those cost.

Deployments : We do cover ARM templates later on this tutorial , you can go here an view all the deployments that has happened in the resource group .

Policies : Policies are very much the same thing that we can apply to subscriptions , you can assign a policy . You can assign policies or a group of polices through this initiative. May be this resource group will be restricting VMs instance queues that are allowed to be provisioned . May be want to force some kind of Encryption 

Automation Script : This is also where you can download the template


For all the resources that are in there right now. So Deployments were showing you previous deployments . Automation scripts are really downloading those resource group as an ARM template.



New Support Request : That you can submit from the resource group as well.
