Hands-On Azure Labs: Building Redundant Cloud Solutions

Lab Overview

In this lab, you will complete your West US web tier configuration by installing IIS on WEST02 through Azure’s Run Command. Mirroring the steps taken for WEST01 ensures consistent setup across both virtual machines, thus finalizing a resilient, load-balanced web environment in the West US region.

Learning Objectives

By completing this lab, you will be able to:

• • Use Run Command to remotely install IIS on WEST02.
  • Apply the same PowerShell installation steps used for WEST01, ensuring consistency.
  • Confirm that the remote installation succeeded by viewing status and output logs in the portal.
  • Finalize the West US portion of your distributed, load-balanced web infrastructure.

Exam Relevance

Understanding remote server configuration practices aligns with:

• • AZ-104 (Azure Administrator): Validates your skills in automating and securing Windows Server installations on Azure VMs.
  • AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect): Shows your competence in standardizing web server deployments across multiple VMs in a cloud environment.
