" summary

Shows a live path from a scheduled PowerShell on a VM to an Azure Automation runbook to an Azure Function, with concrete demos that return "Hello" and a single storage-table row (row key 3) and trace the run in Application Insights. Uses managed identity for auth, stores secrets in Key Vault, sends telemetry with Telemetry Helper, demonstrates webhooks and function keys, notes runbook logs expire after 90 days, and secures functions via validate-jwt in API Management.
