Move Azure Resources to a Different Region – Azure Resource Mover

Today we’ll take a look at how to use Azure Resource Mover to move a virtual machine with some supporting resources to a different region. Reasons to do this are to reduce cost of resources, move a VM to a region where other services it connects to are located, or because you need to have a resource located in specific region for compliance reasons. Either way, today, we move a VM from Europe to the USA in just a few minutes! You can’t even fly across the ocean that fast!

Setting up for a Demo with Azure CLI

I’ve been asked a few times to share how I setup for doing a demo using different Azure resources. So, I’ll share my first way of setting up — Azure CLI. Today, we’ll walk through some of the steps I run and how to save it to do it all again next time. This is one of the ways that I get setup with storage accounts, Windows servers, Linux servers, and even App Gateways and Load Balancers…so buckle up for a little code run-through!

Azure AD Connect – Starting Out Considerations

I’ve been talking a lot about Identity lately, and the most common configuration is a hybrid setup that utilizes the best of both worlds! I’m talking about Windows Server Active Directory for your on-premises and Azure Active Directory for your Microsoft cloud…this is the most common because it allows for local servers and resources, easy identity management, and extended identities into the cloud where you can layer on SaaS applications and other awesome things like Microsoft 365.
