00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:02.250

Hey, and welcome Gurus.

00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:06.930

I'm Chase, your Azure trading architect here at ACG, a Pluralsight company.

00:00:06.930 --> 00:00:10.740

And it's in this lesson, Using Azure Portal and Cloud Shell,

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:14.101

that we're going to get familiar with the portal inside of Azure and

00:00:14.101 --> 00:00:16.709

the built-in Cloud Shell that is inside that portal.

00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:19.770

And we're going to start off by describing what the Azure portal is.

00:00:19.770 --> 00:00:24.588

We're then going to talk about the components of the Azure portal that will be

00:00:24.588 --> 00:00:28.260

high-value items for familiarizing ourselves with the portal.

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:31.230

And then we're going to go through a demonstration where we're

00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:34.577

going to use the Azure Cloud Sandbox so that we can interact to

00:00:34.578 --> 00:00:37.521

the Azure portal and familiarize ourselves with some of the

00:00:37.521 --> 00:00:39.000

features of the Azure portal.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.810

And then we're going to bring it back to the slides for

00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:42.870

some key takeaways in this lesson.

00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:46.440

So to get started, we're going to ask ourselves: What is the Azure portal?

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:48.210

And to put it succinctly,

00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:52.017

the Azure portal is a graphical user interface that

00:00:52.017 --> 00:00:55.680

we can access via web browser, so over the internet,

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:01.080

and it's going to allow us to create and manage resources inside of Azure.
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:02.820
Now if you watch from the previous lesson,

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:04.769

where we were understanding Azure Resource Manager,

00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:07.731

we understand that the Azure portal behind the scenes is

00:01:07.731 --> 00:01:10.582

interacting with the Azure Resource Manager and resource

00:01:10.582 --> 00:01:13.530

providers to create and manage Azure resources.

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:15.000

Now inside of the Azure portal,

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.940

we can also programmatically manage and create resources using the Cloud Shell,

00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:23.789

which it will provide us some functionality to do things

00:01:23.789 --> 00:01:25.980

with Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell,

00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:28.620

which we'll learn more about in the next lesson.

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:28.781

Now,

00:01:28.781 --> 00:01:30.930

let's go over the components of the Azure portal

00:01:30.930 --> 00:01:33.299

that are the most important for us.

00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:36.120

Now, here we have a screenshot of the Azure portal,

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.598

and you'll notice that over time, the Azure portal is frequently updated,

00:01:39.598 --> 00:01:42.923

and some of the user interface changes, but for the most part,

00:01:42.923 --> 00:01:46.229

the features and functionality remain mostly the same.

00:01:46.229 --> 00:01:47.616

Now, in the Azure portal,

00:01:47.616 --> 00:01:51.360

the first thing you may notice is the toolbar that

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:54.360

is in the Microsoft Azure Blue.
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:56.490
And this is going to be one of the most important components

00:01:56.490 --> 00:01:58.530

of the Azure portal that we interact with.

00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:01.410

We'll see here in this toolbar that we have things like the hamburger

00:02:01.410 --> 00:02:05.430

menu in the top left here that is going to allow us to pop out a menu

00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:08.039

that will let us mess with creating resources,

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.270

take a look at other services.

00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:12.870

We can favorite things to store them there for specific services.

00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:15.596

We can also look at dashboards if we have any dashboards

00:02:15.596 --> 00:02:17.954

configured to give us a single pane of glass view of what's

00:02:17.954 --> 00:02:21.039

going on in our Azure environments and many more features that

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.680

we'll see here in just a moment.

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.840

Then next, we have our search bar,

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.570

and this is probably going to be your most frequented item,

00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:30.780

other than the Cloud Shell if you're a Cloud Shell user.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:33.210

And here we can search for resources, services,

00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:37.647

and documentation related to key search terms such as virtual machine

00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:41.280

or gateways if we're looking for gateway solutions.

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:41.916

And also,

00:02:41.916 --> 00:02:46.680

the next feature we'll notice is all of the components here on the right side,

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.776

which comprise of the Cloud Shell-- also,

00:02:49.776 --> 00:02:53.940

the ability to get into our filter for directories

00:02:53.940 --> 00:02:55.829

to see what directory we're in.

00:02:55.829 --> 00:03:00.070

We can also take a look at notifications to get an idea of what's going on

00:03:00.070 --> 00:03:03.900

inside of the activity log for our Azure environment.

00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:07.166

We can also play around with our portal settings to change the

00:03:07.166 --> 00:03:09.438

layout and the look of the Azure portal,

00:03:09.438 --> 00:03:10.080

for example.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.090

We cannot have pop-up menus.

00:03:12.090 --> 00:03:13.200

We could have a fixed menu.

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.330

We could also change to a dark theme.

00:03:15.330 --> 00:03:19.231

We'll also see that we can use the question mark to interact

00:03:19.231 --> 00:03:22.710

with any sort of documentation for getting support from Azure

00:03:22.710 --> 00:03:24.750

as well as opening support requests.

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:27.690

And additionally, we can leave feedback for Azure,

00:03:27.690 --> 00:03:29.670

and if it's actionable, they'll be able to reach out.

00:03:29.670 --> 00:03:32.945

We can also switch between directories, switch between users,

00:03:32.945 --> 00:03:36.060

log out, and sign in from our user profile on the right.

00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:37.950

Now that we've covered the components of the Azure portal,

00:03:37.950 --> 00:03:41.040

let's talk about our demonstration that we're going to go through here.
00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:42.210
For this demonstration,

00:03:42.210 --> 00:03:45.732

we're going to log into the Azure portal using the Azure

00:03:45.732 --> 00:03:48.570

Cloud Sandbox here on the platform.

00:03:48.570 --> 00:03:50.627

And we're going to use the username and password to

00:03:50.627 --> 00:03:53.490

get logged in to portal.azure .com.

00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:55.840

And then we're going to review some of the core

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.827

functionality and components that we've briefly covered

00:03:58.827 --> 00:04:01.020

here on the slides in the Azure portal.

00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:04.770

And then we're going to go through actually creating a Cloud Shell,

00:04:04.770 --> 00:04:08.955

so we can see how we can programmatically interact with resources

00:04:08.954 --> 00:04:12.690

inside of Azure through the web-based cloud terminal.

00:04:12.690 --> 00:04:15.783

So, let's make our way over to the Azure portal and get signed in.

00:04:17.130 --> 00:04:20.490

All right, Gurus, here we are inside of the Azure portal.

00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:23.038

And you may be prompted once you get logged in using the

00:04:23.038 --> 00:04:26.202

username and password for your Azure Cloud Sandbox to go

00:04:26.202 --> 00:04:28.530

through the Azure portal tour.

00:04:28.530 --> 00:04:29.165

Now if you want to,

00:04:29.165 --> 00:04:32.000

go ahead and pause the video here and walk through the tour to get

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.710

a more extensive review of the Azure portal.

00:04:34.710 --> 00:04:37.572

But I'm going to cover it at a very high level for some of
00:04:37.572 --> 00:04:39.060
the key components that we discussed.

00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:40.860

So, I'm going to click Maybe Later here,

00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:42.840

and I'm going to go ahead and get started.

00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:45.150

So as we see here, we have things like Azure Services.

00:04:45.150 --> 00:04:47.400

We could see resources that we've recently touched.

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:49.563

We can also take a look at favorites here.

00:04:50.430 --> 00:04:53.670

We can navigate to various components, and we can take a look at tools.

00:04:53.670 --> 00:04:57.522

And even there is an Azure mobile app that we can use to interact with

00:04:57.522 --> 00:05:00.690

some limited functionality with Azure from our phones.

00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:02.940

Now to get started with the Azure portal here,

00:05:02.940 --> 00:05:05.190

if we come up to the toolbar here, we see that hamburger menu,

00:05:05.190 --> 00:05:07.950

and we see it provides a pop-out menu that allow us to

00:05:07.950 --> 00:05:09.570

do things like create resources.

00:05:09.570 --> 00:05:11.880

We can get back to our home, which is this page here.

00:05:11.880 --> 00:05:14.801

We can go to our dashboard and inside of our dashboard,

00:05:14.801 --> 00:05:18.923

we could do things like set up visualizations to allow us to peer

00:05:18.923 --> 00:05:22.340

into CPU and memory usage for our virtual machines and get other

00:05:22.340 --> 00:05:26.547

information about resources and look at it here in tiles to provide

00:05:26.547 --> 00:05:29.382

us a single pane of glass to understand what's going on inside of

00:05:29.382 --> 00:05:30.690

our Azure environments.

00:05:30.690 --> 00:05:32.730

We also can go back to the home menu here,

00:05:32.730 --> 00:05:35.460

and we see we can take a look at all services.

00:05:35.460 --> 00:05:38.880

And we can look at some of our favorites that we've added here.

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:41.580

Now, what we'll do is, we'll go over here to the search bar.

00:05:41.580 --> 00:05:45.030

And in the search bar, we'll see that we can type in key search terms.

00:05:45.030 --> 00:05:47.952

For example, we could type in virtual machines and here,

00:05:47.952 --> 00:05:51.930

it's going to provide us services related to our search term.

00:05:51.930 --> 00:05:55.350

And if we had any resources that were named whatever we typed in,

00:05:55.350 --> 00:05:56.909

those would also pop up here.

00:05:56.909 --> 00:05:59.199

It's going to show us some things from the marketplace and some

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.890

documentation related to our search term as well.

00:06:01.890 --> 00:06:03.297

I'll go ahead and click Virtual Machines here,

00:06:03.297 --> 00:06:07.230

and we'll see now we're brought into the part of the portal

00:06:07.230 --> 00:06:09.660

where we could create our virtual machines.

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:10.493

And we'll do that here.

00:06:10.493 --> 00:06:11.970

We'll click Create.

00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:16.350

We'll add a virtual machine, and here, we're going to specify our resource group.

00:06:16.350 --> 00:06:18.000

Now, because we're in the Azure Cloud Sandbox,

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.580

we are scoped with our user to the resource group here.
00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:22.230
So, we can't create other resource groups.

00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:24.642

We can only interact with this resource group and the

00:06:24.642 --> 00:06:26.100

resources that we create inside of it.

00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:29.280

So, we'll use the existing resource group, since we can't create one.

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:32.063

And then we're going to give our virtual machine a name here.

00:06:32.063 --> 00:06:38.760

So for example, we'll call this virtual machine our portaldemo-vm01.

00:06:38.760 --> 00:06:39.900

We'll accept all the defaults.

00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:41.400

We'll click Review and Create.

00:06:41.400 --> 00:06:44.820

And now this is going to validate our virtual machine configuration.

00:06:44.820 --> 00:06:49.140

And if it passes validation, we'll get this validation passed check mark here.

00:06:49.140 --> 00:06:50.490

We'll click Create.

00:06:50.490 --> 00:06:55.110

And now this is going to send off this configuration to the Azure portal.

00:06:55.110 --> 00:06:57.390

Now, it's prompted us here to generate a new key pair.

00:06:57.390 --> 00:06:58.290

Since we don't have one,

00:06:58.290 --> 00:07:01.560

we're going to download the private key and create the resource here,

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.560

because it defaulted to SSH key-pair authentication

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.630

instead of password authentication.

00:07:06.630 --> 00:07:09.480

And we noticed that it downloaded this private key,

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.930

and it's gone off to deploy this resource here.

00:07:12.930 --> 00:07:14.430

And the deployment is in progress.
00:07:14.430 --> 00:07:16.530
So, what we're going to do is, we're going to pause here,

00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.510

and we're going to come back once this is done.

00:07:18.510 --> 00:07:20.190

So, feel free to take a moment,

00:07:20.190 --> 00:07:22.911

grab a beverage of your choice and we'll be back once all of

00:07:22.911 --> 00:07:25.710

the resources have finished provisioning.

00:07:25.710 --> 00:07:27.720

Okay, Gurus, so we're back.

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.040

Our deployment is complete.

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.810

And if we look at the deployment details here,

00:07:30.810 --> 00:07:33.300

we'll see all the resources that were deployed.

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.070

So in this case, we have multiple resources,

00:07:35.070 --> 00:07:37.710

because our virtual machine relies on other resources

00:07:37.710 --> 00:07:39.900

to exist in order for it to exist,

00:07:39.900 --> 00:07:42.659

so it deployed all those resources that it needed

00:07:42.659 --> 00:07:44.430

so that it could deploy itself.

00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:48.271

Now, this deployment went off, if you remember from the previous lesson,

00:07:48.271 --> 00:07:49.860

to Azure Resource Manager.

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:54.570

And Azure Resource Manager identified what specific providers

00:07:54.570 --> 00:07:57.003

were needed to deploy these resources <v ->-so,

00:07:57.003 --> 00:07:58.339

in the case of the virtual machine,

00:07:58.339 --> 00:08:02.772

</v> Microsoft.Compute /VirtualMachines-- and it asked the provider to

00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:06.900

complete this request to deploy this virtual machine on behalf of the

00:08:06.900 --> 00:08:10.520

Azure Resource Manager since it cannot do it itself and it's just the

00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:12.900

orchestrational top-level resource.

00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:14.130

Now, we're going to go ahead here.

00:08:14.130 --> 00:08:15.840

We're going to close out.

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.190

We'll go into our virtual machine here,

00:08:17.190 --> 00:08:20.880

and we'll see how we can do certain things with the resource here.

00:08:20.880 --> 00:08:21.713

We can connect to it.

00:08:21.713 --> 00:08:23.880

We can restart it, stop it, delete it.

00:08:23.880 --> 00:08:27.450

We can also look at some network configurations, disks.

00:08:27.450 --> 00:08:28.410

We can change the size.

00:08:28.410 --> 00:08:30.300

We can do a whole lot here in the Azure portal,

00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:32.549

and we're going to save that for later lessons.

00:08:32.549 --> 00:08:36.210

We're going to move on now to the other side of the toolbar here.

00:08:36.210 --> 00:08:39.630

Now if we go back to our home and we click on the Cloud Shell here,

00:08:39.630 --> 00:08:42.750

we'll see that it's going to prompt us to configure a Cloud Shell.

00:08:42.750 --> 00:08:45.450

We can choose a Bash environment or a PowerShell environment

00:08:45.450 --> 00:08:47.850

and we can switch between this in the future.

00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:49.380

So, we're going to select PowerShell here.
00:08:49.380 --> 00:08:51.720
In my case, you could select Bash if you'd like.

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.030

And here, we'll click on Show Advanced Settings.

00:08:54.030 --> 00:08:55.064

And what we'll see is,

00:08:55.065 --> 00:08:58.680

we have to configure storage be mounted for this Cloud Shell.

00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:01.050

So, it's going to use our existing resource group.

00:09:01.050 --> 00:09:02.430

The region doesn't matter here.

00:09:02.430 --> 00:09:03.780

We're going to create a new storage account,

00:09:03.780 --> 00:09:06.270

and it has to be a globally unique name.

00:09:06.270 --> 00:09:08.265

And the current naming convention for storage

00:09:08.265 --> 00:09:10.949

accounts here is three to 24 characters,

00:09:10.950 --> 00:09:13.020

lowercase alphanumeric.

00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:17.053

So, I'm going to try to call mine here the portaldemocloudshell.

00:09:19.260 --> 00:09:22.147

And then I'm going to name a file share that will be

00:09:22.147 --> 00:09:23.340

configured in this storage account.

00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:25.680

I'll call it cloudshell here, and I'll click Create Storage.

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:29.589

And this is going to go off and deploy a storage account that

00:09:29.589 --> 00:09:31.830

will be mapped to this Cloud Shell here.

00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:32.820

Now if this happens to you,

00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:36.180

you're going to see the storage account is already taken,

00:09:36.180 --> 00:09:38.215

meaning that this name already exists and this is
00:09:38.215 --> 00:09:39.960
something I used in a previous demo here.

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.743

And this shows us an error we may run into in configuring this.

00:09:42.743 --> 00:09:44.550

Again, it has to be globally unique.

00:09:44.550 --> 00:09:47.595

So if I just change the name here and call it the

00:09:47.595 --> 00:09:53.268

cloudchaseportaldemostg and then type in Cloud Shell again,

00:09:53.268 --> 00:09:54.900

click Create Storage,

00:09:54.900 --> 00:09:58.103

it's going to go off and create the storage account here for

00:09:58.103 --> 00:10:00.869

us using this storage account name and the Cloud Shell

00:10:00.869 --> 00:10:02.910

fileshare that we've configured for it.

00:10:02.910 --> 00:10:05.817

Now while that's going, we're going to minimize the Cloud Shell here,

00:10:05.817 --> 00:10:08.263

and we're going to see here we can switch between

00:10:08.263 --> 00:10:10.110

directories and do a directory filter.

00:10:10.110 --> 00:10:12.390

So, we see we have an existing directory here,

00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:16.110

and this is the directory for the lab environment.

00:10:16.110 --> 00:10:19.308

We'll also see that we have the ability to take a look

00:10:19.308 --> 00:10:21.270

at our appearance and startup views.

00:10:21.270 --> 00:10:24.630

For example, we could change it to docked for our menu behavior.

00:10:24.630 --> 00:10:26.940

We could change our theme if we want a dark theme.

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:29.040

We could do high-contrast, white, black.

00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:33.030

We could do focused navigations, startup menus, whatever we want to do.

00:10:33.030 --> 00:10:34.980

And we can apply these changes if we want.

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:37.020

I'm going to go ahead and return it back to the default.

00:10:37.020 --> 00:10:40.830

We also can take a look at our language configuration and regional format.

00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:43.080

We can look at our information,

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.750

and we can take a look at our signing out and notifications,

00:10:45.750 --> 00:10:48.600

so we can enable pop-up notifications or disable it.

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.829

We can also change our Sign Me Out When Inactive and set it to never,

00:10:52.829 --> 00:10:54.120

15 minutes, two hours,

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.390

or custom duration and all these other durations in between.

00:10:57.390 --> 00:10:59.070

We'll go ahead and do none of that.

00:10:59.070 --> 00:11:02.369

And then we're going to move in here to where we'll see we can get support and

00:11:02.370 --> 00:11:05.280

some troubleshooting information for the Azure environment.

00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:07.050

We can take a look at service health.

00:11:07.050 --> 00:11:10.153

We can look at some support resources and we can even open

00:11:10.153 --> 00:11:12.210

support requests with Microsoft from here.

00:11:12.210 --> 00:11:15.360

And it'll show us specific resources we have that we can open those with.

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.020

And we would choose Create Support Request and provide more information.

00:11:19.020 --> 00:11:21.690

Next here, we'll see we can leave feedback with Microsoft,

00:11:21.690 --> 00:11:24.420

and if there's anything actionable, they should action on it.
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:26.409
And we also see with our user profile, we can sign out,

00:11:26.409 --> 00:11:29.640

view accounts, switch directory, and sign in with different accounts.

00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:31.290

Now, let's make our way back over to the Cloud Shell,

00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:33.357

now that it should be done provisioning.

00:11:33.357 --> 00:11:36.030

And what we'll see here is this blue screen.

00:11:36.030 --> 00:11:39.270

This is because the Cloud Shell has a timeout of 20 minutes.

00:11:39.270 --> 00:11:41.400

So, we'll click Restart there using the power button.

00:11:41.400 --> 00:11:45.180

And if it doesn't restart, go ahead and refresh your browser page.

00:11:45.180 --> 00:11:48.893

And what we'll see now is, we should be able to open up the Cloud Shell,

00:11:48.893 --> 00:11:51.826

and it'll start for us and connect to the Cloud Shell

00:11:51.826 --> 00:11:54.150

instance that's mapped to our storage account.

00:11:54.150 --> 00:11:56.820

Now, we see here we can switch between PowerShell and Bash,

00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:58.920

and we can also restart, as we just saw.

00:11:58.920 --> 00:12:00.930

We can get some help information about the PowerShell.

00:12:00.930 --> 00:12:04.410

We can take a look at our settings and modify things like tech size and font.

00:12:04.410 --> 00:12:08.130

We can also download and upload files here to the Cloud Shell,

00:12:08.130 --> 00:12:10.530

so things like this, for example.

00:12:10.530 --> 00:12:14.100

Clear up the display, type ls, and we'll see the files we have here.

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:17.580

And we can upload from our computer and download to our computer.

00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:20.400

We can also open new terminal sessions here,
00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:23.640
and it'll open up another session in a different window.

00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:26.820

And then, we also will see that we can open up a code editor here,

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:30.660

which is Visual Studio-esque in nature with some limited functionality.

00:12:30.660 --> 00:12:35.250

And we can also do things like do a web preview here and click Configure.

00:12:35.250 --> 00:12:38.433

Now, we'll go ahead and close up this here,

00:12:39.510 --> 00:12:42.240

close the editor, clear up the display,

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.910

and we're going to see we could do things like use

00:12:44.910 --> 00:12:47.610

Azure CLI commands like az group.

00:12:47.610 --> 00:12:48.653

And if we type in az group,

00:12:48.653 --> 00:12:51.194

it'll give us some information about the Azure CLI

00:12:51.194 --> 00:12:53.490

command that we're trying to use here.

00:12:53.490 --> 00:12:55.440

And the same thing goes for the PowerShell.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.990

We could do Get-AzResourceGroup,

00:12:58.530 --> 00:13:02.070

and it's going to give us some information about resource groups.

00:13:02.070 --> 00:13:05.841

And we could also see specific parameters if we type a tack and then

00:13:05.841 --> 00:13:08.490

hit Tab-complete for this PowerShell command line.

00:13:08.490 --> 00:13:08.988

All right, Gurus,

00:13:08.988 --> 00:13:11.017

that concludes everything that we wanted to look at

00:13:11.017 --> 00:13:12.510

here inside of the Azure portal.

00:13:12.510 --> 00:13:16.160

Let's make our way over to the slides for a quick review of this lesson.

00:13:17.070 --> 00:13:17.903

All right, Gurus.

00:13:17.903 --> 00:13:18.017

So,

00:13:18.017 --> 00:13:21.123

the key takeaways from this lesson are that you understand that we

00:13:21.123 --> 00:13:24.151

got into the Azure portal and familiarized ourself with the Azure

00:13:24.151 --> 00:13:27.660

portal and its built-in cloud terminal, known as the Cloud Shell.

00:13:27.660 --> 00:13:29.903

Now when we logged into the Azure portal using our

00:13:29.903 --> 00:13:31.770

Azure Cloud Sandbox credentials,

00:13:31.770 --> 00:13:34.830

we were using an Azure Active Directory identity,

00:13:34.830 --> 00:13:37.970

and we're going to get more information on Azure Active

00:13:37.970 --> 00:13:40.350

Directory in the identity section of this course.

00:13:40.350 --> 00:13:40.703

But for now,

00:13:40.703 --> 00:13:43.718

it's important for us to understand that this was an identity that

00:13:43.718 --> 00:13:46.380

we used to authenticate into the Azure portal.

00:13:46.380 --> 00:13:51.930

And this also used our same identity to authenticate into the Cloud Shell,

00:13:51.930 --> 00:13:54.240

because we were already signed in via the Azure portal.

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.942

And this identity had authorization to perform

00:13:56.942 --> 00:13:59.220

specific operations at a specific scope.

00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:03.300

And in this case, it was the resource group in terms of the Azure Cloud Sandbox.

00:14:03.300 --> 00:14:07.290

Now, inside of the Azure portal, we saw that we can create and manage resources,
00:14:07.290 --> 00:14:09.900
for example, when we created that virtual machine.

00:14:09.900 --> 00:14:12.858

And we saw we could also perform management operations such

00:14:12.858 --> 00:14:15.930

as rebooting that virtual machine or stopping it or looking

00:14:15.930 --> 00:14:18.540

at the network configuration, the things of that nature.

00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:22.390

We also saw that we could manage Azure using the Cloud Shell

00:14:22.390 --> 00:14:24.502

by using Azure CLI and PowerShell commands,

00:14:24.502 --> 00:14:28.740

which we're going to get more into Azure CLI and PowerShell in the next lesson.

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:31.530

Now, something we didn't cover because we're going to cover it in another lesson,

00:14:31.530 --> 00:14:34.576

is that we can use the Azure portal to manage billing and get an

00:14:34.576 --> 00:14:37.920

understanding of our cost inside of the Azure Cloud.

00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:38.105

Now,

00:14:38.105 --> 00:14:41.274

the other thing that we want to remember is that we can use

00:14:41.274 --> 00:14:44.970

the Azure portal to log support tickets if ever we're having

00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:48.510

issues inside of the Azure portal, as we saw in our demonstration.

00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:50.520

All right, Gurus, that's all my time for now.

00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:52.770

Thanks so much for joining me in this lesson,

00:14:52.770 --> 00:14:54.480

and I look forward to seeing you in the next one.

00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.193

For now, I've been Chase.
