- 47. Introduction to PowerShell Cmdlets for Azure PowerShell cmdlets are lightweight commands used to perform specific operations in Azure. These cmdlets follow a standardized Verb-Noun naming convention, making them intuitive and easy to remember. Common verbs include Get (retrieve information), Set (modify existing resources), New (create new resources), and Remove (delete resources). Azure PowerShell cmdlets follow the structure Verb-AzNoun, allowing administrators and developers to manage Azure resources directly from the command line. For example, Get-AzVM retrieves information about virtual machines in Azure. This powerful toolset enables efficient and streamlined management of Azure resources through simple, yet effective commands.
- 48. Using Get Cmdlets to Retrieve Information 1 Purpose of Get Cmdlets Get cmdlets are read-only commands that retrieve information about resources without making any modifications. 2 Common Get Cmdlets Get-AzSubscription, Get- AzResourceGroup, Get-AzVM, Get-AzStorageAccount 3 Example Usage List all VMs in a resource group: Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" 4 Retrieve Subscription Details Check subscription IDs and names: Get-AzSubscription
- 49. Using Set Cmdlets to Modify Resources 1 Purpose of Set Cmdlets Set cmdlets are used to modify existing Azure resources, such as updating properties or changing configurations. 2 Common Set Cmdlets Set-AzVM: Modifies properties of an existing virtual machine. Set-AzStorageAccount: Updates settings on a storage account. Set-AzContext: Changes the active Azure subscription or context. 3 Example Usage Update a VM's size: Set-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyVM" -Size "Standard_DS3_v2". Switch to a specific Azure subscription: Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "subscription-id"
- 50. Using New Cmdlets to Create Resources Purpose of New Cmdlets New cmdlets are used to create new Azure resources, from virtual machines to resource groups and storage accounts. Common New Cmdlets New-AzResourceGroup: Creates a new resource group. New-AzVM: Deploys a new virtual machine. New-AzStorageAccount: Creates a new storage account. Example Usage Create a new resource group: New-AzResourceGroup -Name "MyResourceGroup" -Location "EastUS". Deploy a VM with default settings: New-AzVM - ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyVM" -Location "EastUS" - Image "Win2019Datacenter"
- 51. Using Remove Cmdlets to Delete Resources Purpose Remove cmdlets are used to delete or remove Azure resources, critical for resource management and cost control. Common Cmdlets Remove-AzResourceGroup, Remove-AzVM, Remove-AzStorageAccount Example Usage Delete a VM: Remove-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyVM". Delete a resource group: Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name "MyResourceGroup"
- 52. Connecting to Azure and Running Basic Commands Authenticate with Azure Account Use Connect-AzAccount to log in to your Azure account and begin managing resources. This command opens a prompt for your Azure login credentials. Switch Between Subscriptions If you have multiple subscriptions, list them with Get-AzSubscription and set one as active with Set-AzContext - SubscriptionId "your-subscription-id". List Resources in a Subscription Once connected, retrieve information about your resources. List all resource groups: Get-AzResourceGroup. Get details about a specific VM: Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "MyVM".
- 53. Summary of Azure PowerShell Cmdlets Cmdlet Type Purpose Examples Get Retrieve information Get-AzVM, Get- AzStorageAccount Set Modify existing resources Set-AzVM, Set-AzContext New Create new resources New-AzVM, New- AzResourceGroup Remove Delete resources Remove-AzVM, Remove- AzResourceGroup To use these cmdlets effectively, first connect to Azure with Connect-AzAccount, set the subscription context with Set-AzContext, then use Get cmdlets to retrieve information, New to create, Set to update, and Remove to delete resources as needed.
- 54. Connecting and Managing Azure Subscriptions This lab focuses on essential skills for Azure subscription management using PowerShell. Participants will learn to authenticate and connect to Azure, explore basic commands for listing and managing subscriptions, and understand how to switch between multiple Azure subscriptions effectively. Managing subscriptions is crucial for organizing resources, controlling access, and tracking costs across different Azure projects or environments. This skill is particularly valuable in scenarios involving multiple subscriptions for testing, development, production, or multi-region setups.
- 55. Authenticating and Connecting to Azure 1 Start Azure PowerShell Session Open PowerShell and ensure the Az PowerShell module is installed. If not, use the command: Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber - Scope CurrentUser. 2 Connect to Azure Run Connect-AzAccount to authenticate. This prompts for Azure credentials in a browser window, linking your PowerShell session to your Azure account. 3 Post-Connection Upon successful login, Azure PowerShell links to your default subscription, allowing you to run commands and retrieve account information.
- 56. Listing Azure Subscriptions List Subscriptions Use Get-AzSubscription to list all subscriptions associated with your Azure account. Output Details The command displays Subscription ID, Name, and State for each subscription. Purpose Listing helps identify active and inactive subscriptions, useful for understanding resource allocation across different projects or departments.
- 57. Setting the Default Subscription Context Understand Context The active context determines which subscription PowerShell commands interact with by default. Set Default Subscription Use Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "your-subscription-id" to set a specific subscription as the default context. Verify Active Context Run Get-AzContext to display the currently active subscription details, including the Subscription ID and account information.
- 58. Switching Between Subscriptions Why Switch? Different subscriptions may be used for various projects, regions, or environments. Switching allows access and management of resources in each environment without repeated logins. How to Switch Use Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "new-subscription-id" or Set- AzContext -SubscriptionName "Your Subscription Name" to switch contexts. Verify Switch Always use Get-AzContext after switching to ensure commands target the intended subscription.
- 59. Exploring Basic Subscription Management Commands Command Purpose Get-AzSubscription - SubscriptionId "id" | Format- List Retrieve detailed subscription information Get-AzVMUsage Check resource limits and quotas for VMs These commands provide comprehensive details about subscriptions, including tenant ID, policies, and permissions. For detailed quota checks, use the Azure portal or Azure CLI, as PowerShell commands are specific to resource types.
- 60. Troubleshooting Connection and Subscription Issues 1 Login Prompt Issue If Connect-AzAccount doesn't open the login prompt, ensure a stable internet connection and restart PowerShell. 2 Subscription Switch Problem When unable to switch subscriptions, confirm access and check the Subscription ID's correctness. 3 Debugging Commands Use Get-AzContext to check the current context, Get- AzSubscription to verify active subscriptions, and Disconnect- AzAccount to fully log out and reset connections.
