Technical requirements
To execute the labs in this chapter, you will need the following:
- Access to an Azure subscription with owner or contributor privileges. If you do not have access to one, students can enroll for a free account: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/free/.
- PowerShell 5.1 or later installed on a PC where the labs can be practiced from; note that many examples can only be followed from a PC or https://shell.azure.com (PowerShell 7.0.6 LTS or later is recommended).
Top Tip
Either the AZ module or AzureRM module should be installed; you cannot have both. Installation will fail should you try to run both.
- Installation of the AZ module can be performed by running the following in an administrative PowerShell session:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser Install-Module -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force
Note
Even though the labs are on GitHub, no GitHub account is required to access the labs.
