Why Using AzSQLVMKit
Azure SQL VM labs involve many choices: networking, secrets, storage, identity, image, VM size, and guest setup.
AzSQLVMKit gives beginners a single reviewed starting point:
- YAML config instead of portal clicking.
- A no-Azure
-Planpreview. - Bastion-first access.
- Key Vault for the VM password and storage key.
- A manual restore helper for
.bakfiles. - Local checks and CI for the script/config path.
It is useful for demos, workshops, and learning environments. It is not enough for production governance, full drift correction, enterprise policy enforcement, or regulated workloads.
