Request a Windows Azure virtual machine in the intranet IT service Portal

Objective

How do end users apply for their own azure virtual machines? It's obvious that they can't get their own access to the Azure portal, which is too complex on the other hand to tell so many people about azure admin accounts. This article tells us that only system Center is available so that everyone can apply for all of the azure resources.

First of all, please watch the pre-recorded video of the basin, no sound, but added a note, so rest assured to watch it, will not quarrel with others.

This method uses the following two System Center components:

• System Center Service Manager

• System Center Orchetrator

End users do not need access to the Windows Azure Portal, nor do they need to understand the principles of Windows Azure, or even have access to the Internet.

We have tested successfully the following scenario: With Scsm/orchestrator, users can request an Azure virtual machine in the intranet, which is a good hybrid Cloud solution.
The following are the advantages:

• Develop Test cloud: Development Testing department can request Azure virtual machine directly in the network, System Center can automatically create Azure virtual machine.

• Users request virtual machine resources on the service desk portal, and they don't have to worry about whether they're in a private cloud or a public cloud.

• With the help desk portal, we can support change management, leadership reviews, and more.

• The IaaS resources of Azure and private cloud can be placed in the same CMDB to facilitate a unified chargeback report.

• Easy to hide some of the sensitive parameters of Azure virtual machine, not to be arbitrarily specified by end users, such as not allowing users to create their own storage accounts.

• Self-service makes business feel good, while hybrid cloud allows it to show highlights, it will be easier to accept, and the business unit can enjoy the advantages, reflecting the Chinese moderation.

Demo Introduction

Contoso provides application/approval for IAAS Development test VM Resources in the service desk portal, and colleagues in the development department simply specify the Windows Azure configuration options on the portal site, as well as the VM name, behind which the scsm/ Orchestrator automatically creates a virtual machine on Windows Azure and automatically sends e-mail to that colleague, sending the Remote Desktop file to him.

1. Development colleagues sign in to the portal and request an Azure virtual machine.

2. The backend system Center orchestrator automatically creates virtual machines on azure, and administrators can view their execution status on the portal. The following is the execution status of the Runbook. This requires us to write our own runbook, which instead of manipulating Windows Azure.

3. If necessary, the administrator can see on Windows Azure that the virtual machine has been generated to prove that it is not virtual.

4. System Center automatically sends a message to the user, who simply double-clicks the RDP file in the attachment to access Azure virtual machine through Remote Desktop, and he doesn't know that the virtual machine is on Azure and he doesn't even know it's a virtual machine. The following is the message received by the demo.

5. As mentioned earlier, with this approach, administrators can hide some important parameters that prevent end users from directly accessing the Azure site scrambling parameters. The following is an administrator-pre-populated azure virtual machine configuration.

Isn't it useful? In fact, not just a new Windows Azure virtual machine, almost all of Windows Azure's modifications and configurations can be packaged into a service catalog, delivered to end users, and audited and authorized!

If you think four is good, then scan the following two-dimensional code to pay attention to it. You can also add the public number directly:sysinternal.
