Automated SQL Server VM Deployment on Azure with Kay Sauter

In this demo session, attendees will see how to automate the deployment of SQL Server virtual machines (VMs) using PowerShell on Azure. I explain various PowerShell cmdlets for creating and configuring VMs efficiently and to adapt it for your own setup. Additionally, I will showcase how to use dbatools, a powerful PowerShell module for SQL Server automation, to restore databases with ease. By the end of the session, participants will know a DevOps approach for deploying SQL Server VMs and restoring databases for this. This session is ideal for database administrators working with Azure VMs with PowerShell.
