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.

Setting up Visual Studio Code, GitHub and code signing certificate

Hi all,

As many of you probably know I do a lot of PowerShell scripting when time allows it, and after scripting, for many years I finally saw the need for source control. Source control not only ensures that I can revert back to a previous version of my code, but it also provides me with a single place to find all my code. I am using source control for both my personal work (like Citrixlab.dk and helping others out) and also for my professional work where I use a shared repository with my colleagues.

How to configure Citrix Cloud with Microsoft Azure part 4

In part 3 I showed you how to create the Citrix Machine Services Catalog. The machine catalog is now created and we have a virtual machine running the Citrix in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. In this final part of the blog series, I will show you have to create the Citrix Delivery Group which is the mechanism that allows you to publish a desktop or applications. There are different options for assigning these desktops and applications, and in this blog, I will be using the Citrix Cloud library tool to accomplish this.

How to configure Citrix Cloud with Microsoft Azure part 3

In part two I showed you how to install the Citrix VDA on a virtual machine running in Microsoft Azure. I also explained that I believe that any updates for software and new software should result in building a new master image from scratch. This is something I recommend based on my experience in editing in very old images, old images often makes you feel nervous of doing any changes. If you have the confidence to build your image from scratch every time you also prove that you have a valid mechanism for migrating to a new cloud provider or on-premises hypervisor. This build mechanism is also valid as a disaster recovery scenario where you can rebuild your Citrix workers instead of trying to restore from a backup.

How to configure Citrix Cloud with Microsoft Azure part 2

In part one I showed you how to login to Citrix Cloud, download the Citrix Cloud Connector and install it onto a machine running in Microsoft Azure. This part made it possible to continue on with the implementation of Citrix Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

In part 2 I am going to show you how to install the Citrix Virtual Delivery Agent on a virtual machine hosted in Azure. I will show you which type of machine I am running on and how you can set this up yourself.
