This course is for anyone in IT or software engineering who wants to learn more about DevOps and, specifically, how to follow DevOps practices in Azure. Whether you’re a system administrator, engineer, developer, or IT manager, this course will help you understand what it takes to deliver more value to customers with DevOps.

You will dive into concepts like configuration management, continuous integration/continuous delivery, and Infrastructure as Code. You will learn the key tools used by DevOps professionals such as: the command line, Visual Studio Code, GitHub, Kubernetes, and more.

You will complete various projects throughout the course where each chapter’s project is designed in a step-by-step manner to walk you through using the tool just as you would in your daily life.

By the time you finish, you will have the foundations in place to become a DevOps professional.

The Complete Guide to DevOps in Azure

## Project overview

This chapter project will build each component one at a time using the Azure CLI inside the Azure Cloud Shell.

> *Using the Azure Cloud Shell isn’t required to use the Azure CLI, but it will be the preferred method used throughout this course.*

Through a PowerShell script running Azure CLI commands, you will build the following components:

- A resource group.

- A public IP address.
- A virtual network (vNet) and subnet for all components to share.
- A network security group (NSG) and rules to protect the application.
- An Azure Load Balancer with a frontend IP pool and backend IP address pool.
- A load balancer rule to direct HTTP traffic to the website.
- A VM availability set with three VMs.
- A custom script extension installed on the VMs to run PowerShell scripts.
- A simple IIS website deployed to all VMs.


## Preparing to build the Azure resources

Let's start out by setting up the script for Azure resource-building. First, define a few initial variables. When you're going to be building a PowerShell script that performs tasks using the same values, it's a good idea to define variables. Using variables, you can reference the same value over and over in a script and only need to make one change if that value changes over time.

For this script, define three variables as shown below. You'll see these variables pop up from time to time as you progress through building the script.

```PowerShell
export projectName='NoBSAzureLb'
export resourceGroupName=$projectName
export location='eastus'
```

> *You’ll also see throughout the script that nearly all Azure CLI commands require a resource group. Instead of typing `--resource-group $resourceGroupName` over and over, you can set a default resource group in Azure CLI. Run the following code snippet. This snippet will configure the Azure CLI to always default to the `NoBSAzureLb` resource group for all actions if no resource group is defined.*

```PowerShell
az configure --defaults "resource-group=$resourceGroupName"
```

## Resource group

Next, all resources you'll create in this project will be in a single resource group. Placing all resources in a single group allows you to easily clean up all resources created in this project at the end.


```PowerShell
az group create --name $resourceGroupName --location $location
```

## Public IP address

This Azure load balancer you will create will be a public load balancer exposed to the Internet. Because it's exposed to the Internet, you will need to assign a public IP address to it. The following code snippet creates a public IP with a static IP called `NoBSAzure-Lb`. A static IP isn't necessary but is easiest to manage because you don't have to worry about the IP changing on you.

```PowerShell
export pipName="$projectName-pip" 
az network public-ip create -g $resourceGroupName --name $pipName --allocation-method Static
```
