Microsoft Azure Dedicated Host

Hi all, Microsoft announced a new preview feature called, Azure Dedicated Host. With this new feature, you can reserve a full physical server and thereby have complete control over virtual machine placement. This new feature also allows you to use hybrid licensing, which means you can bring our on-premises licenses to the cloud. You will need to have purchased software assurance for these licenses.

vLog on PowerShell automation on Microsoft Azure

Hi everyone,

The next part of my vLog series on using Powershell to do automation with Microsoft Azure is now online. In this part, I will transform the three simple commands that created the resource groups into a small script that uses a JSON file to store the configuration in. The great thing about this approach is you keep your code separated from your configuration which means that you can use the same code to create a lot of different environments. If you are a service provider or just want to create multiple environments, this will make your life a lot easier.

vLog on automation on Microsoft Azure

Hello everyone,

This will be a short blog post, but it will contain two videos from youtube that I just published. The videos are part of the new vLog I am doing where I will be showing how I tackle the task of doing automation on Microsoft Azure using PowerShell. The series is meant to show you everything I am going through doing this so it will be recorded on the fly and not edited that much afterward. The only editing I will be doing is making sure sound volume is as good as I can get it and putting in an intro and outro. Mistakes I will be making during the automation work will remain in the video since I am learning from those mistakes and maybe so will you.
