Create a fully automated SQL Server Lab with AutomatedLab
AutomatedLab, a PowerShell framework for generating basic or advanced lab environments on Azure or Hyper-V by just using a PowerShell script.
When setting up a SQL Server Always On Availability Group with a clustered user database in an entirely automated process, the traditional approach would involve manually configuring the basic environment (AD, DNS, DHCP, etc.), followed by the manual installation and configuration of Microsoft SQL Server. This method is time-consuming and requires various prerequisites to be considered before the main goal can be tackled.
Fortunately, AutomatedLab streamlines this procedure by effortlessly deploying not only basic workloads like Active Directory Domain Services but also complex ones like Microsoft SQL Server.
In this session, you will receive a brief introduction to AutomatedLab, create the necessary preconfigured virtual machines for the task, and explore three different methods of installing a Microsoft SQL Server Always On Availability Group and adding a database to it. These methods are the imperative approach utilizing dbatools, a declarative method using PowerShell DSC v2, or the alternative to install both SQL Servers through AutomatedLab and convert them into an Always On Availability Group.
Create a Development Environment for PowerShell Universal
PowerShell Universal is in my opinion the go-to tool for building versatile applications suitable for personal and business needs. It enables the creation of interactive dashboards, script scheduling, REST API development, and various other functionalities—all achievable with a proficiency in PowerShell.
In team settings, mitigating the common "It runs on my machine" issue is vital. Rather than sharing extensive documentation for installation and configuration, a more efficient and reliable approach is using a Dev Container, a technology that provides a portable and uniform development environment by encapsulating essential tools and configurations within containerized environments.
This session explores the core elements of Dev Containers, guiding you through the process of creating one specifically for PowerShell Universal v4, configuring Visual Studio Code for smooth integration with Dev Containers and PowerShell Universal v4, and mapping your PowerShell Universal code within the Dev Container.
Azure Automation DSC and the Azure VM DSC Extension. How do they work together?
In this presentation you will see how to deploy Azure Automation State configuration (DSC).
We will deploy DSC Configurations and assign them to Azure VMs .
I will also show how you can deploy a DSC Configuration without Azure Automation State Configuration (DSC).
Everything will all happen with Azure DevOps and a CI / CD Process.
