Azure VM Automation

Hi Axel Sch

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/enable-managed-identity-for-automation#enable-using-the-azure-portal

Enable Managed Identity for your Azure Automation Account:

System-assigned Managed Identity:

In the Azure portal, navigate to your Automation Account.

Go to "Identity" under "Account Settings."

Set "System assigned" to "On."

Click "Save."

Azure will create a managed identity associated with your Automation Account.

Grant Permissions to the Managed Identity:

Your Automation Account's managed identity needs appropriate permissions to access the Azure resources your runbook will interact with.

For example, if your runbook needs to start a virtual machine:

Navigate to the virtual machine in the Azure portal.

Go to "Access control (IAM)."

Click "Add" > "Add role assignment."

Select the appropriate role (e.g., "Virtual Machine Contributor").

In "Assign access to," choose "Managed identity."

Select "Automation Account" and then your Automation Account's name.

Click "Save."
