Azure IT Camp Snippets

#-----------------------------------------------
# Lab 1: Building the Foundation
# Section: Connect to Azure with Powershell
#----------------------------------------------

Add-AzureAccount # This prompts you for your Azure Subscription Account Credentials, and logs you in.

Get-AzureSubscription | FT SubscriptionName # Get the list of Subscriptions your has access to.

Get-AzureLocation | FT DisplayName # Show the datacenter region location names. (You will use the one you chose for your network location.)

#-------------------------------------------------
# Set Your Variables for the Lab - Setting the Variables here will ensure the script will work for your environment.  Replace "ABC" with your initials or something unique for your deployment. 
#-------------------------------------------------

# These variables must be edited:

$subscrName = "Free Trial" # Replace with the friendly name of your subscription, if not using the free trial
$storageAccountName = "xxxstore" # Storage name must be all lowercase.  Replace xxx with your initials or some unique ID
$domainCloudService = "XXXdomainservice" # Must be globally unique (used in a URL).  Replace XXX with your initials or some unique ID
$dcAvalSet = "XXX-DCSet" # Replace XXX with your initials or some unique ID
$firstDC = "XXX-DC01"    # Replace XXX with your initials or some unique ID
$secondDC = "XXX-DC02"   # Replace XXX with your initials or some unique ID

# These variables must match what you configured for your network in Lab #1

$VnetName = "XXX-Vnet"    # <-- Edit to match your virtual network name
$locationName = "West US" # <-- Edit to match your network location choice
$subnet = "Core-Subnet"   # <-- Edit if your network configuration first subnet name is different than the lab manual suggested

# These variables can be left as-is. If you edit them, be sure to make note of the values for later.
