Episode 296 – PowerScripting Podcast – Joe Levy from Microsoft on Azure Automation

In This Episode

Tonight on the PowerScripting Podcast, we talk to Joe Levy from Microsoft about Azure Automation
Interview

**** ****
Chatroom Highlights

Does Azure automation just expose SMA or is it it’s own thing

do users find powershell workflows complex and limiting?

do people prefer to use portal UI to interact with runbooks or to work in ISE and automate everything?

what are the main pain points for authoring runbooks?

what are the main scenarios you can tackle with SMA and AA?

are there any plans to enable pure PowerShell scripts and not just workflows?

can we run DSC in SMA and AA? are there any differences compared to running DSC from PowerShell hosts?

can he talk a little bit about the actual SMA/AA architecture? (or I missed that)

he had a great demo at TechEd Europe “Get-ThisPartyStarted” where he turned on a disco ball from Azure

can we expect some graphical authoring UI in Azure Automation like we have in Orchestrator?

cross plat (http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Azure-Friday/Azure-Automation-104-managing-Linux-and-creating-Modules-with-Joe-Levy)

can we perform all actions available in portal just by using cmdlets in ISE?

the disco ball demo is worth asking about if you have time.  Joe is a genius…

What language is he primarily coding in?

joe, remind me to give you a converter 🙂
