What is the process when using vs code and testing runbooks with managed identities. Do you just replace some of the when the script works locally. Or what is the best practice for using the same context and permission as the identity. Because executing a runbook from vs code or portal takes forever

[@TDSheridanLab]

You can run managed identities locally for testing. I haven't seen any crazy lag when running in the cloud from VS code. I just open the dedicated window to watch it. Sure there is a little lag as you send the request to the Azure Cloud but nothing that would be a redesign for testing in my experience.

Geez oh man. This is a lot of steps to unpack just to setup automation for a script. Way too many moving parts which means lots of time troubleshooting to get this to work. seems way more complicated and less intuitive than using powershell scripts. Yikes. Leave it to MS to overcomplicate this. Thanks for sharing

[@TDSheridanLab]

No problem, depends on what you’re doing. If you’re running unattended scripts already then moving them to the cloud isn’t that much more work. If all your scripts are still interactive scripts then you have some work to do.
Thanks for watching!
