The essence of a successful product delivery lies in automation; the amount of work that can be completely automated decides how much faster we can deliver. As part of automation we should certainly include configuration of resources, which include dependency installations, firewall or network port configuration, storage allocation, and so on. These factors shorten the time for delivery and ensure error-free code if tried and tested rigorously. Therefore, infrastructure automation is the epitome of success for any product delivery chain.

In this section, we will see how to remotely connect to those Azure VMs and enable remote PowerShell so that we can deploy Music Store onto a remote Docker host without establishing a remote desktop session which is a manual step.
