Getting Started with Virtual Machines in Azure: A Guide

Looking to use virtual machines for your development environments? Check out my getting started guide for using Azure VMs.

Kerrb

While I’m hard at work on my SaaS startup, Kerrb, we thought we’d put together a little getting started guide for folks who want to look at using virtual machines (VM) in Azure for their development environments. For now you’ll need to make sure you shut the VMs off yourself, but in the not too distant future we’ll have some stuff to share to show you how we cna help you automate this task, as well as others! We believe in empowering users to do more with less. We are also crazy about the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and want others to be too.

So to help those who have not yet started with Azure, or those who have but want to get a step up on how to leverage things like PowerShell, we have put together a totally free 5 part course!
