As you know, Azure Automation is really great feature to automate your schedulable tasks both public cloud an on-premise. There are massive documents to describe how to do that including abstraction. I will introduce how to do that simply with screenshots.
Create your Azure Automation Account
At first, note when you create Azure Automation account. And you must create "Azure Run As account" like below, because it's mandatory to execute your Azure Automation scripts called as "Runbook". This probably need your Azure Active Directory privilege of App Registration.
Create your Runbook
Create a Runbook used to execute your scripts. Choose "Runbook" from left side of you Azure Automation account and click "Add a runbook" like below.
And input your Runbook name and choose "PowerShell" as your Runbook type.
Create your scripts into your Runbook
Open your Runbook and click "Edit" to create your script. Update your script like below.
$Conn = Get-AutomationConnection -Name AzureRunAsConnection Add-AzureRMAccount -ServicePrincipal -Tenant $Conn.TenantID -ApplicationId $Conn.ApplicationID -CertificateThumbprint $Conn.CertificateThumbprint get-azurermresourcegroup | ForEach-Object { $_.ResourceGroupName }
The name of "AzureRunAsConnection" should be created in "'your Azure Automation account name'- Connections". Once again, this is mandatory to execute your script. Confirm it like below if you need.
After updating the script, click "Test pane" to test your script. You can execute your script by clicking "Start" button, so you can take result like below.
Now you can publish your script by clicking "Publish" button to schedule and collaborate with other Runbooks. After publishing that, confirm the status like below.
Schedule your Runbook
Go back to top of your Azure Automation account and choose "Schedule" and click "Add a schedule" like below.
