unable to wrap up
By Murali Chenu on 2/4/2022
well explained, after watching this course, VM management is really easy and fast in UI, managing vm using with Powershell is lengthy and chance to misconfiguration. Thanks for your time
By Carla Jenkins on 2/3/2022
As an avid Azure user, this course has taught me things that I have not known. The lectures are brief but jam-packed with usable Powershell commands and examples. I highly recommend taking this course if you’re frequently using Azure Powershell.
