Overview of this book

<p>Microsoft Azure offers numerous solutions that can shape the future of any business.

The book begins by guiding you in choosing the backend structure for your solutions. You will then work with the Azure toolkit and learn how to use Azure Managed Apps to share your solutions with the Azure service catalog. The book then focuses on various implementation techniques and best practices such as implementing Azure Cloud Services by configuring, deploying, and managing cloud services. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn how to work with Azure-managed Kubernetes and Azure Container Services. </p><p>By the end of the book, you will be able to build robust cloud solutions on Azure.</p>

Azure Stack configuration task

After the installation is finished, there are more tasks before you could call Azure Stack ready for the customers. Theses include the following:

  • Installing Azure Stack PowerShell and AzureRM modules
  • Installing Azure Stack tools
  • Registering ASDK to Azure
  • Adding Microsoft VM Extensions to gallery from marketplace
  • MySQL and SQL resource provider installation
  • Adding SQL Server and MySQL hosting servers
  • App service installation and configuration (certificates generation)
  • Setting default quotas and a base plan and offer that contain all deployed services
  • Configuring Python and Azure CLI for usage with ASDK

You could either run all these tasks manually (per the description available within the Microsoft Documentation, accessible here at https://github.com/mattmcspirit/azurestack) or using a script that has been created by Matt McSpirit. 

As it makes configurations quite easy, I would suggest using it every time following the Azure Stack update cycle...
