Abstract
Automating operational tasks is critical for streamlining infrastructure management, both on premises and in the cloud. Microsoft Azure Automation comes with capabilities that help administrators automate their cloud-based, operational, repetitive tasks. It is versatile, with hybrid connection capabilities that help you automate tasks in your on-premises datacenters as well as with other cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS). Being built on top of the ever-reliable PowerShell, it is a useful tool in the arsenal of any Azure cloud administrator. Azure runbooks are easy to create, edit, and execute and can integrate well with almost all resources in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
