Azure contains an ever growing suite of products, what tools or products do we have available to remove repetitive tasks from our daily grind. This session is viewed from the perspective of a Cloud/IT Professional, our vision is to automate anything we can using whichever tools we have available. In this session we will dive into Azure Automation, Microsoft Flow, Azure Functions, Event Grid and more. What are they, how do they relate to each other and what are the pros and cons for using each product. By looking at and understanding how we can leverage the Cloud Automation tools that are available to us today we will be able to work less tomorrow! Warning: Contains code.
