Microsoft Azure Training 16 – Azure Virtual Machines – Part 3 – Creating Azure VMs with PowerShell (Exam 70-533)

This is the Part 3 of the Azure Virtual Machines session. In this session I go hands-on in demonstrating how Virtual Machines are created in Azure using PowerShell. In this session I demonstrate both the Quick method (New-AzureQuickVM) and the complete configuration method using New-AzureVM cmdlet. Further demonstration is provided on how to attach a Data disk to an existing VM. Demonstration goes further with how a VM can be created from an existing VHD from the storage account. The session is concluded by showing how PowerShell can be used to turn off and delete VMs.

Microsoft Azure Training 14 – Azure Virtual Machines – Part 1 – Advanced Concepts (Exam 70-533)

This is the Part 1 of the Azure Virtual Machines session. In this session I provide details of Azure Virtual Machines. I go over the constructs of Azure VMs and provide hands-on demonstration of the learned concepts. The most important bits of this session are the slick PowerShell cmdlets that can be utilized to look up information about various capabilities of the Microsoft Azure in regards to VMs. This session will form the basis of the next few sessions to follow about Azure VMs.

Azure PowerShell – List all VMs that are using a specific VNet subnet

I recently had a query from someone on how-to list all the VMs in a subscription that are part of a subnet. The following script will do this for you:

$vms = Get-AzureVM

 $tgtSubnet = "Subnet-1"

 foreach($vm in $vms)
 {

   $thisVM = Get-AzureVM -ServiceName $vm.ServiceName –Name $vm.Name

   $thisVMSubnet = Get-AzureSubnet -VM $thisVM

   if ($thisVMSubnet -eq $tgtSubnet)
   {
     $thisVM.Name | Out-File C:\Azure\subnet_VM.txt
   }

 }

This is the Part 3 of the Azure Virtual Networks session. In this session I talk about what Affinity Groups are and why they were a good idea in the past and how they are being currently deprecated by Microsoft. There is a demonstration of creating Affinity Groups and also where Affinity Groups can be associated when creating specific resources. In the second part of this session I discuss about Azure DNS for internal VM name resolution and where they are applicable and their limitations. As usual a detailed demonstration is provided to see all the concepts discussed about internal name resolution and its limitations.
