Azure Automation has announced support for Azure CLI commands in runbooks (preview announcement).
The rich command set of Azure CLI expands capabilities of runbooks even further, allowing you to reap combined benefits of both, for automating and streamlining management of Azure resources. Azure Automation runbooks target orchestration on a wide array of resources such as Virtual Machines, Arc-enabled Servers, Databases, Storage, Azure Active Directory, and much more, along with complex workflows involving multiple resources.

called from just about anywhere in AWS (or outside for that matter). Even better lambdas don't require a server to run, this means that you only pay for the compute that you actually use. Don't worry the first 1M hits per month are free. Let's dive in and see how we can start using our existing PowerShell skills to start building lambdas.

This is a blog post about how to schedule a PowerShell script via Intune. Of course, we would like
this to be built-in within Microsoft Intune but we are not there yet. Hopefully, this will be an option in the future. We would like to schedule app installs and scripts via Microsoft Intune directly.
