Lab 08 - Manage Virtual Machines

Student lab manual
Lab scenario
You were tasked with identifying different options for deploying and configuring Azure virtual machines.
First, you need to determine different compute and storage resiliency and scalability options you can
implement when using Azure virtual machines. Next, you need to investigate compute and storage
resiliency and scalability options that are available when using Azure virtual machine scale sets. You also
want to explore the ability to automatically configure virtual machines and virtual machine scale sets by
using the Azure Virtual Machine Custom Script extension.
Note: An interactive lab simulation is available that allows you to click through this lab at your own
pace. You may find slight differences between the interactive simulation and the hosted lab, but the
core concepts and ideas being demonstrated are the same.

Objectives
In this lab, you will:
 Task 1: Deploy zone-resilient Azure virtual machines by using the Azure portal and an Azure
Resource Manager template
 Task 2: Configure Azure virtual machines by using virtual machine extensions
 Task 3: Scale compute and storage for Azure virtual machines
 Task 4: Register the Microsoft.Insights and Microsoft.AlertsManagement resource providers
 Task 5: Deploy zone-resilient Azure virtual machine scale sets by using the Azure portal
 Task 6: Configure Azure virtual machine scale sets by using virtual machine extensions
 Task 7: Scale compute and storage for Azure virtual machine scale sets (optional)

Estimated timing: 50 minutes

checkboxes next to the instances of the virtual machine scale set, click Upgrade, and then, when
prompted for confirmation, click Yes.
The disk attached in the previous step is a raw disk. Before it can be used, it is necessary to
create a partition, create a filesystem, and mount it. To accomplish this, you will use Azure
virtual machine Custom Script extension. First, you will need to remove the existing Custom
Script Extension.
21. In the Settings section of the az10408vmss0 blade, click Extensions, click
CustomScriptExtension, and then click Uninstall.
Wait for uninstallation to complete.
22. In the Azure portal, open the Azure Cloud Shell by clicking on the icon in the top right of the

into the Cloud Shell home directory.
25. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following to display the content of the script:
Set-Location -Path $HOME

Get-Content -Path ./az104-08-configure_VMSS_disks.ps1

The script installs a custom script extension that configures the attached disk.
26. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following to excecute the script and configure disks of Azure
virtual machine scale set:
./az104-08-configure_VMSS_disks.ps1

27. Close the Cloud Shell pane.

28. In the Settings section of the az10408vmss0 blade, click Instances, select the checkboxes next to
the instances of the virtual machine scale set, click Upgrade, and then, when prompted for
confirmation,
Create a screenshot showing the result.
 click Yes.
Clean up resources
Remember to remove any newly created Azure resources that you no longer use. Removing unused
resources ensures you will not see unexpected charges. [!note] Don't worry if the lab resources cannot
be immediately removed. Sometimes resources have dependencies and take a longer time to delete. It
is a common Administrator task to monitor resource usage, so just periodically review your resources in
the Portal to see how the cleanup is going.
1. In the Azure portal, open the PowerShell session within the Cloud Shell pane.
2. Remove az104-08-configure_VMSS_disks.ps1 by running the following command:
rm ~\az104-08*

3. List all resource groups created throughout the labs of this module by running the following
command:
Get-AzResourceGroup -Name 'az104-08*'

4. Delete all resource groups you created throughout the labs of this module by running the
following command:
Get-AzResourceGroup -Name 'az104-08*' | Remove-AzResourceGroup -Force -AsJob
 The command executes asynchronously (as determined by the -AsJob parameter), so while you
will be able to run another PowerShell command immediately afterwards within the same
PowerShell session, it will take a few minutes before the resource groups are actually removed.
