PowerShell+ 2019 - It’s PowerShell In the Cloud – Welcome to Azure Cloud Shell by Michael Bender

As more organizations move towards the cloud and using Microsoft Azure, there is a need to leverage our existing practices in that environment. That is where Azure Cloud Shell comes in. Azure Cloud Shell provides a CLI for administrators into their Azure subscription resources. Access to Azure Cloud Shell is available through a variety of methods including the Azure Portal and shell.azure.com. Admins can choose their environment: bash or PowerShell. For this session, the focus will be on using PowerShell through Azure Cloud Shell. It will begin with an introduction to Azure Cloud Shell for an understanding of the platform, uses, features, and limitations. Discussion of Use cases will include locked down admin workstations, rotating devices, and non-Windows device usage. Then we'll dive into working with Azure Cloud Shell from setup to Git to the Cloud Shell editor. Demos planned include: -Initial setup including Azure File Storage -Command discovery -Installing custom modules from PowerShell Gallery -Working with Azure commands -Uploading resources to Azure File Storage for use in Azure Cloud Shell -Using SSH for remoting to VMs -Working with Git Repos -Using the Cloud Shell editor (Monaco) -Use Managed Service Identity (MSI) in Azure Cloud Shell All attendees will leave with the information they need to begin immediately managing Azure subscription resources with Azure Cloud Shell using a personalized interface. Everyone will learn Stuff! PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a "best effort" basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations' information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
