LAB PREPARATION

Purpose / Objectives of Lab 1

In this lab, you will login to Microsoft Azure for the first time, navigate your way to DevTest Labs, and spin up your first VM image. The main purpose of this lab is to ensure you can access your account and familiarize yourself with the Azure user interface.

While you are working through this lab, it is highly recommended that you write notes down in your OPS705 Lab Logbook. These are general notes and commands to help you remember how to do this lab. Each lab has its own page in the logbook. You may use this logbook during all quizzes, so fill it out accordingly!

If you encounter technical issues, please contact your professor via e-mail or in your section's Microsoft Teams group.

Minimum Requirements

Before beginning, you must have:

  1. Watched the Week 1 video lecture
  2. Read through the Week 1 slides, and have them handy as a reference for concepts
  3. Your Seneca Azure login credentials (check your e-mail)
  4. Your OPS705 Lab Logbook
  5. A mobile device (phone/tablet) to setup 2FA (two-factor authentication)
  6. An Internet connection is helpful (If you don't have one... How are you here?)

INVESTIGATION 1: First Login to Microsoft Azure

In this investigation, you'll log in to your Seneca-provided Azure account, and perform some light house-keeping to make future labs easier.

Part 1: Logging In

  1. Look for an e-mail within your inbox titled Account information for new or modified users from Microsoft. This contains your username and temporary password. Keep this handy in a browser window.
  2. In a new browser window, navigate to: https://portal.azure.com
  3. Enter the username and password found in your welcome e-mail.
  4. On your first login, you'll be asked to change your password. Do so now. It's recommended you use the same password as your normal Seneca account.
  5. You'll next be asked to set up two-factor authentication. Do not bypass this step!
  6. Once you've set that up, verify it by logging out and logging back in again.
  7. Conduct a small celebration (pat on the back, a quick jig, perhaps a fist pump) and move on to Part 2.
