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 -Plan preview.
  • Bastion-first access.
  • Key Vault for the VM password and storage key.
  • A manual restore helper for .bak files.
  • 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.
