Hello All, how we can use python in azure to build or automate things ? Replies appreciated.

Question

Hello All,
Started learning Python and I want to know how can I use Python to build automate Azure infra, basically IAAS services.

Answer 1

You can write python code in runbook and schedule them in Azure automation service. This way, you can automate some processes such as turn off the VM during weekend and turn on Monday morning.

Be aware that, for automation work, PowerShell is more preferred language. But python is good too to learn.

See below document and also refer index page on the left to see various scenarios for automation

Hi @Saurabh Dhande

For running your code server less, your options are Azure automation or Azure functions
If your trying to define the infrastructure of your account I would take a closer look at: Azure Blueprints, Azure policies and ARM templates
