Azure Automation is a service in Azure that is designed to help users to create, manage, deploy, and maintain their Azure resources. Azure Automation contains several concepts that remove some of the complexities and low-level details from these actions. Azure Automation allows for the formulation of workflows in the form of runbooks. These runbooks can be executed against Azure resources on behalf of the user.

Automation account resources
Within an Azure Automation account, there are several resources that make this more than just a scripting engine. These resources are shared on the level of the automation account and can hence be reused within multiple runbooks.
