We have found Azure Automation to be well-suited for tasks that must be performed on a scheduled basis. No matter how simple or tedious tasks are to perform manually, if they run on a scheduled basis, it makes sense to have them automated. If the tasks at hand are only performed once or infrequently, then it may be best to continue performing them manually.

  • An automation template library would be nice
  • Clear estimation of costs - this goes for the entire Azure Automation platform
  • It can be daunting at first due to all the settings and menu levels, but it is not difficult once you get started.

Usability
Key advantages include cost-effectiveness through dynamic resource provisioning and the use of spot instances. It auto-scales to meet workload demands, allowing easy job submission via the AWS Management Console or SDKs. It integrates seamlessly with other services like S3 and CloudWatch. It features automatic retries for failed jobs. It allows for a custom computing environment tailored to specific needs

CF did not have a way to store the videos and I did not want to do so in YouTube because of privacy reasons.

We did not evaluate any other automation products since we are already using Microsoft 365 and the Azure platform. Additionally, Azure Automation allows for a reasonable number of tasks to be performed each month at no cost, which is especially nice when testing the platform. We found Azure Automate's integration of Powershell invaluable when working directly with Microsoft 365, Sharepoint, Azure AD, and other systems via API.
