To get the most out of this book
This book is designed to use Azure resources for simulating on-premises infrastructure. You will need an Azure subscription with sufficient credit to run the infrastructure workloads for completing the tasks. A free account can be created from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/free/. If you have an on-premises server infrastructure lab environment available, that can also be used for completing the scenarios covered.
All code samples are tested using Azure Cloud Shell/Visual Studio Code and Azure CLI/PowerShell on the Windows OS.
If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
It is recommended to execute all hands-on exercises to get the most out of this book and learn effectively.
