Build Your Azure Infrastructure like a Pro
summary
Shows a reproducible pipeline: linked ARM templates plus a runbook that takes three parameters and builds a fully managed VM, creates an Automation account and Log Analytics workspace, compiles DSC, pulls modules from PSGallery, onboards the VM and installs the monitoring agent — end-to-end deploys in about one hour. Uses Azure Automation DSC as the managed configuration layer; a demo failure traces to a missing PS DSC Resources module v2.9, while a successful run reports the VM compliant. Recommends enabling auto-updates and using DSC extension (latest ~v2.76).
