Microsoft Azure Training 20 – Azure Virtual Machines – Part 7 – Azure Endpoints and Load Balancer (Exam 70-533)

This is the Part 7 of the Azure Virtual Machines session. In this session I talk about Azure VM Endpoints, how to create them from Management Portal and PowerShell. Further discussion is done on the very important topic of Load Balancing sets in Azure and the endpoint probes. Lastly, I provide basic introduction to Azure VM ACLs and once again creating them through Management Portal and PowerShell.

Microsoft Azure Training 19 – Azure Virtual Machines – Part 6 – VM Agent and Extensions (Exam 70-533)

This is the Part 6 of the Azure Virtual Machines session. In this session I talk about Azure VM Agents and VM Extensions. This session is heavy on demos. I go over details on VM Agents and then provide information on how they are installed during VM creation as well as when they are uploaded as VHD from on-premise environment. Next the session moves on to what Extensions are and how to view all the extensions provided by Azure. Several demos are provide on the Azure provided extensions. The session ends with Custom Script Extension and how it can be used to run any script during the provisioning of a VM in Azure.

Microsoft Azure Training 18 – Azure Virtual Machines – Part 5 – Azure Images (Exam 70-533)

This is the Part 5 of the Azure Virtual Machines session. In this session I discuss Azure images. First there are discussions about the type of VM images. Then I provide demo on capturing Azure VMs for creating generic images. Next there is a demonstration of creating specialized VMs in Azure. Further the session progresses with uploading a VHD from on-premise to Azure and then creating an Image based on the uploaded VHD. To wrap the session up I show a nice trick on how to bring a Windows client operating system and use it as an image on Azure to deploy client VMs.

Microsoft Azure Training 17 – Azure Virtual Machines – Part 4 – Azure VM Data disks (Exam 70-533)

This is the Part 4 of the Azure Virtual Machines session. In this session I deep dive into Data Disks (VHDs) in Azure. First there are discussions about Data Disks in general. Then I provide demo on creating new Data Disks and associating it with an existing VM. The most important demonstration of this session is uploading a data VHD from on-premise to Azure and then connecting the VHD with an existing VM in Azure to access the data.

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
   }

 }
