Automate the management of your cloud and on-premises resources

Create an Automation Account

An Automation Account is a container for your Azure Automation resources. It provides a way to separate your environments or further organize your Automation workflows and resources.

Process automation that simplifies cloud management

Azure Automation allows you to automate the creation, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of resources in your Azure environment and across external systems. Azure uses a highly scalable and reliable workflow execution engine to simplify cloud management. Orchestrate time-consuming and frequently repeated tasks across Azure and third-party systems.

Integrate into the systems you depend on

With Automation, you can connect into any system that exposes an API over typical Internet protocols. Azure Automation includes integration into many Azure services, including:

  • Web Sites (management)
  • Cloud Services (management)
  • Virtual Machines (management and WinRM support)
  • Storage (management)
  • SQL Server (management and SQL support)

Need your workflows to integrate into another service? Extend Azure Automation to third-party solutions simply by importing an existing PowerShell module or writing your own in C# or Windows PowerShell.
