AzurePSDeployer is a PowerShell script designed to simplify and automate the deployment of resources in Microsoft Azure. This tool aims to streamline the process of provisioning Azure resources, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

Skip to Usage (execution commands)

How does it work?

APSD is based on the templates stored in the /deployments folder. The launcher script (AzurePSDeployer.ps1) calls the templates stored there via Invoke-WebRequest, allowing you to always have the latest updated version.

Features

• Fully customizable, you can create your own templates in /deployments and run them locally (or contribute to the project and submit a pull request)
• Checks if the Az module is present and fully functional
• Validates and sets the Azure account for deployment
• Confirms the selected subscription by prompting the user to choose one
• Automates the creation of:
  • Resource groups
  • Virtual networks and subnets
  • Public IP addresses
  • Network security groups and their rules
  • Network interface cards
  • Virtual machines
• Provides a general summary of the created resources
• Automates the RDP connection

Before using AzurePSDeployer, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Windows machine (could work on other OSes too)

Important

The log file is saved in the current user's temp folder (%temp%). The filename is composed of $VMName (the virtual machine name defined in the variables) and the execution date
